I'm Jason Flom and you're Maggie Freeling. Hey,

1:42

Jason. Every day we learn about another person

1:44

who shouldn't be in prison. 58

1:47

years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

1:49

So glad you're home. If you want to

1:51

be part of this work, listen to Wrongful Conviction. The

1:54

podcast where we hand the mic to

1:56

innocent people to hear their stories. How

1:58

to new episodes of wrongful conviction with Maggie

2:03

Freeling and Jason Flom on the iHeartRadio

2:05

app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

2:07

get your podcasts. Imagine

2:12

Googling your name and finding your

2:14

own missing persons page. One

2:16

that presumes you died after disappearing as

2:18

an infant. This actually

2:21

happened to Steve Patterson. And

2:24

then I searched my name and

2:27

found the missing persons report. And

2:29

the next thing he did was call me. He

2:32

picked up the phone. I mean it was just

2:35

one in a billion, I guess. I said, I don't blame

2:37

you if you don't believe it. Cause

2:39

this is sounds crazy. But

2:42

it didn't sound crazy to me. I've

2:44

been looking for him and another missing boy

2:47

in Steve's family for decades. Steve

2:49

calling me out the blue was only

2:51

the first part of this unbelievable story.

2:55

Because right around the time he was born,

2:57

Steve's birth mom married a serial killer. This

3:00

man was like a buzzard that circled the whole

3:02

family. And he kidnapped Steve's

3:04

sister when she was just six years old. And

3:08

that's when he took her and that

3:10

was the last time that she was

3:13

seen. If I'd have went with him,

3:15

I wouldn't be here. We started

3:17

tracing the wreckage of this serial killer through his

3:19

blood relatives. Which

3:21

is now discovering at 49 years

3:23

old, all the kin he didn't know. Like

3:26

the mother who gave him up. What did you

3:28

find Steve? And

3:30

they said, who's Steve? And

3:33

sisters who wanted Steve in their lives. Like

3:35

I can't say that. I

3:37

want to hold him. He's my brother.

3:44

Together, we'd find out what really happened to

3:46

his older sister who disappeared. I

3:48

had thought he would take care of her and he just wanted her. I

3:52

never thought it would be the nightmare it was. And

3:55

we'll hear from the investigators who unraveled

3:57

the case. I show a picture of

3:59

Franklin Floyd. And she says without

4:01

any hesitation, he stole my daughter

4:03

Susie. Suddenly, Steve had a lot

4:06

of new people on his birth mother's side,

4:08

and a lot of heartache too. It

4:11

was a very big deal. It

4:13

changes a person when you find out so

4:15

many crazy things.

4:18

And he found common ground with long

4:20

lost sisters. She'll tell you like

4:22

it is too now. She don't sugarcoat anything. I

4:25

thought I'd connect Steve with his birth family and be done.

4:28

But then, I fell down a rabbit hole

4:30

with him. We're FBI agents. I

4:32

said I've reopened the investigation. And

4:35

he looked at me and says, well I'd appreciate if you'd close it.

A sleuth, a family, and

a family torn apart by tragedy, and

4:56

my quest to bring them back together. I

4:58

5:02
