I caught the end of this on the news last evening. DNA is really amazing. The poor parents and this poor woman. She has to rethink her whole identity and life at this age. An evil thing was done to this family.

An evil thing was done to this family.

No doubt, quite evil. However given the time lapsed it may be hard to serve any justice... Just hope she and her family are as ok as possible.

In a civilized society, justice is what we have in lieu of satisfaction.

I read this story in the newspaper, very sad and the
police are looking for the abductor, too late I fear,
if she is alive, then she will be over 70 years old.

That is absolutely amazing.

And likely past all statues of limitation so even if found legal action may not be possible... no justice in this one.
