Reunited after 19 long years
A 20-year-old man was reunited with his family yesterday, after being abducted as a toddler in Hebei Province 19 years ago.
Two men abducted the then 11-month-old boy in Cixian County in Handan in August 1998, according to local police.
Police launched an investigation but were unsuccessful in finding the child. The search for suspects was complicated as they were believed to be migrant workers and a large number of people from other provinces worked at coal mines in the county at that time. The missing boy’s parents were also migrants from Sichuan Province.
Under instructions from the Ministry of Public Security, local police relaunched a probe in February this year. They later arrested four suspects.
After the suspects confessed, police found the missing man in Liaocheng in neighboring Shandong Province on September 24. DNA testing confirmed his identity on October 6.
