Man Who Was Abducted At 6 Years Old Found Alive 73 Years Later

A 6-year-old boy who was abducted back in 1951 was found alive and reunited with his loved ones after more than seven decades.

Luis Armando Albino, who was kidnapped as a six-year-old while playing in a California park in 1951.

The discovery was made after Albina’ niece, while working with authorities, used an online ancestry test, newspaper reports and old photos.

Kidnapped by Couple

The discovery was made by Albino’s niece, Alida Alequin, who collaborated with police, the FBI, and the justice department to locate him living on the US east coast.

A woman lured the Puerto Rico-born boy with the promise of candy, then flew him to the east coast, where he was raised by a couple as their own child.

The police have not released any information about who the couple was and if they have found their whereabouts in investigation.

Albino is now a retired firefighter and Marine Corps veteran who served in Vietnam, new reports say.
