A boy kidnapped more than seven decades ago from a California park was found alive and well as a senior citizen, reunited with surviving loved ones after his niece found him across the country through her own DNA research, police said Monday. His genetic material was a match to two surviving siblings in California, proving Albino was the boy taken in 1951, police said. The Oakland Police Department statement didn't make clear who officers believed took Albino from that park seven decades ago, nor did it identify who raised him. Albino's 92-year-old mother died in 2005 never knowing the fate of her kidnapped son, the Bay Area News Group reported. “I think he died happily,” said 63-year-old Alida Alequin, the niece who alerted police to her 22% DNA match to Albino.

Oakland, California (AP) — Luis Armando Albino was 6 years old in 1951 when he was abducted while playing at an Oakland, California, park. Officials and family members didn’t say where on the East Coast he lives. His brother, Roger Albino, was interrogated several times by investigators but stood by his story about a woman with a bandana around her head taking his brother. Luis was located on the East Coast and provided a DNA sample, as did his sister, Alequin’s mom. Luis returned to the East Coast but came back again in July for a three-week visit.
