Richard Wayne Landers Jr was kidnapped by his Grandparents in 1994 in Indiana, and was found in Minnesota 18 years later. He was kidnapped in Indiana when he was only 5 years old. He was found married, well, and having his first child on the way in Minnesota with a changed name. His Grandparents took him because they were mad about custody arrangements and how it was still proceeding in court. Parents dropped the charges against the Grandparents and continued with help for the search of their son. In September they found a guy using the same SS number as the missing kid in October 18 years ago. They continued their search for him in Minnesota. The Grandparents were found in Browerville Minnesota under different names and admitted that they took and raised Richard and their actual names. Parents were happy that they finally were reconnected with their missing child and they have closure.
This is a really confusing story to me. How didn't they find him if the Grandparents had him? Didn't they ever see their parents or since they moved and changed their names they were missing to them too? Why'd the parents drop the charges on the Grandparents years before they found their son? They kidnapped and dropped off the face of the earth and they're not going to charge them with anything? Especially when they found the Grandparents in 2008 and they still denied having the child until 5 more years.
