Philadelphia Man Finds Himself on Missing Children's Site
This would be weird...could you imagine??
A Philadelphia man who was adopted as a child found himself on a missing person's website and ended up solving his own case.Steven Carter, a 35-year-old software salesman, was adopted from a foster home in Honolulu, Hawaii, when he was 4 years old.
In 2010, Carter browsed a missing children's website, MissingKids.com, for cases of children reported missing in Hawaii. He found an age-progression image that looked very similar to himself, created from a photograph of a baby named Marx Panama Moriarty Barnes.
Carter's adoptive mother, Victoria Carter, told ABC News he sent them the photograph right away."He called some friends and he called us and wanted everyone to look at this website," Victoria Carter said. "We all looked at it, and the timing was right. The birth date was one day different from his birthday. He looked very much like the baby from the few pictures we had of him when he was small. They recommended on the site that he call the police department in Honolulu, which he did.
"We provided the police with as much information as we had," she said. "Three months later they did a DNA test on him."Eight months later, it was confirmed that Steven Carter was Marx Panama Moriarty Barnes.
