Missing Baby Found After 51 Years: The Incredible Story of Melissa Highsmith 36:13

Hello, everyone. Welcome back. So happy to have you here with me today to discuss another case. And if you are new, then welcome. So today we are going to be talking about the incredible story of Melissa Highsmith. And this is very similar to a case I covered previously.

recently just last year on holly klaus i recently saw this in the news and just knew i had to cover it because i love cases like this i love when there is a happy ending for families especially when they have been through so much trauma and i just think it is so cool the way cases are being solved these days with dna it's happening more and more frequently we're hearing about more stories like this in the news and it's just incredible

So today we are going to talk about a woman named Melissa Highsmith who had been missing since she was a baby for the last 51 years. And she was recently reunited with her family. It's amazing. And National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which we just raised over $159,000 for in 2023. Thank you again. I can't say it enough. I'm just so excited. But we're going to be mentioning them a lot.

in this video. So the NECMEC team has been kind enough to record some clips to be included in this video so you guys can get a better idea of what NECMEC does. And before we get started, I wanted to insert a little thank you message that NECMEC wanted to give to all of you who participated in the campaign last year.

low, of course, but let's get into this story here. So we're going to start back in the mid 1960s. So Alta Apenteco, who was 18 year old at the time, was introduced to 17 year old Jeffrey Highsmith during a blind date that was set up by his roommate. Jeffrey says that he remembers just how gorgeous he thought that Alta was when he first met her. And then they ended up getting married in November of 1968.

And they were pretty young. She was 19 at the time and he was 18. And just a year later, Alta had her first baby. Melissa Highsmith was born on November 6th, 1969. So Melissa was actually named after a friend of theirs at the time, a friend of Alta's. And Jeffrey says that he remembers her being a very active baby, a very happy baby. Now, Alta did struggle a lot with...

with becoming a parent. It can be very hard, especially at a young age. And when you hear what she herself went through as a child, it all makes a lot of sense. Alta was actually one of 12 kids. And when her mother couldn't take care of all those kids, she sent the youngest six to go live in an orphanage. And Alta grew up there. Specifically, they went to the Church of Christ Children's Home and she lived there for 16 years. So because of that,

Alta really never got to experience what it's like to be loved by a mother. And so she struggled to be a mother herself, but she did try to give her daughter, Melissa, the absolute best life that she could. So Melissa was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and they stayed there for a little while, but eventually they decided to relocate to Southern Illinois. And unfortunately, this is when Alta and Jeffrey began fighting a lot.

and fighting so much that their relationship actually ended. In past interviews that they've done, they have each explained their side of why they split up, but ultimately it was because Jeffrey was pretty selfish and was unfaithful to Alta. Although Jeffrey has said that there was more to it, that

Alta was mean to him. He found her to be very cold and their relationship was just negative a lot of the time. And so that also contributed to them breaking up as well. Of course, they both have different sides to their story. But once they broke up, Alta called one of her brothers, Perry, who helped move her and Melissa back.

back to Fort Worth. And from what I gathered, it doesn't sound like she had too much of a plan, but returning to the place where she was from seemed like a good start. So at first she and Melissa moved in with one of her brothers, Ed and his wife, and they were there for a little bit. And then she ended up moving in with her niece, Carlene, because she had so many siblings. Her niece was actually the same age as her. So it was a good situation for a little while.

But for whatever reason, the living situation ended up not working out. I'm not sure if she just wanted a different situation or if it, you know, wasn't working for some reason. But that's when Alta received a message from an old acquaintance named Carol. Now, Carol and Alta grew up in the same orphanage. I'm not sure how close they were, but they definitely knew each other. Alta says she doesn't know how Carol found her, but she took her up on...

on the idea of them moving in together. And Carol actually had a young son, so she thought that was nice for Melissa to have someone to play with. And while they were living together, Alta actually found a job cleaning churches, and that's how she supported her and her daughter.

because Jeffrey would send them no financial support. So she was completely on her own. But obviously now that she had found this full-time job, she had to find someone to help her take care of Melissa while she was at work. So she put an ad out in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Now it's not really been reported why Alta didn't have

like a family member take care of her or maybe Carol, but it's possible they had other obligations as well. And she had no other choice, but to find a sitter. Now, obviously finding someone to care for your child is so hard. I have just recently gone through this. I know what it's like to have to trust someone. It can be very difficult as a mother, especially with the situation that Al

Now, obviously back then, the idea of...

stranger danger wasn't as common. People didn't realize how dangerous the world really was. I mean, the internet literally didn't even exist back then. And because of that, it wouldn't be as simple as running a quick background check on someone or looking them up online. She was in a

trust that this person had good intentions. She did try to do some due diligence and tried to meet up with this woman, ask this woman to come meet her outside of where she worked so that she could meet her, ask her a few questions before she passed off her 22 month old baby to this stranger. So they arranged a time to meet in a place. And even though that was all set, the person never showed up. Now

this made Alta super nervous. This was definitely not ideal because she did have to go to work the next day or she would be fired. And this was not ideal for Alta because she needed this job to provide for her and her daughter. So she was very upset when this woman never showed.

But eventually the woman called her back. She said that she did in fact want to care for Melissa. She was interested in the job and she told her that she had a big backyard that Melissa could play in. And at this point, Alta felt like she was stuck. She felt like she was low on options. She needed the job and couldn't take her daughter with her. So she needed childcare and she was in a desperate situation.

So on August 23rd, 1971, Alta left Melissa home with Carol, her roommate, and Carol was instructed to pass Melissa on to the babysitter when she arrived. Again, I don't fully understand why Carol wasn't watching Melissa that day. I mean, she did have her own son. It's possible she had to go somewhere or something like that.

I'm not sure why, and I don't want to speculate. I mean, there's nothing that can be changed about the situation now anyway, so there's no point, but I know people will have questions about that. So that day is kind of confusing. A lot of the details about what happened to Melissa that day are just unclear. And what we do know have come from various stories that have been told over the years and

Carol has never done any type of interview or spoken out herself. So keep that in mind as I'm trying to explain some of the details of Melissa's disappearance, because there are many parts that are just confusing because we don't know what happened.

But the story that is out there goes like this. Apparently Carol was home that morning lying on the couch and it was early in the morning. Alta had already gone to work and I guess Carol was pretty hungover because the two of them had gone out that night and had quite a bit to drink. And again, confusing. I'm not sure where Melissa was when they went out. There are just details of this that are completely unexplainable.

So sometime around 7.30 a.m., and we're not exactly sure on that time, but that's what is believed, a person showed up at the house and we're not entirely sure if this woman was actually a woman. It's quite possible it was a male dressed up.

as a woman, but whoever this person was identified themselves as Ruth Johnson, Melissa's babysitter. And the only really notable detail about this person is that they had long white gloves on. Obviously fashion was very different back then, but during the heat of the summer in Texas, I can't imagine why someone would be wearing long gloves, but it is believed that this person could have been wearing gloves to conceal the fact that they were actually male or to prevent DNA.

Carol did as she was instructed. She passed baby Melissa off to this Ruth Johnson person. And what's really weird is this Ruth person actually entered their house. And when she saw that Carol had a son, she offered to take him as well.

But for whatever reason, luckily she decided not to let this woman take her son too. So after this, Carol goes back to the couch and it's been said that she got a bad feeling. And as soon as she heard the car start, she actually got up and went and tried to get Melissa back. But...

At that point, it was too late and Melissa was gone. And again, I just want to make it really clear that this Carol person has never been formally interviewed. So how exactly this information is even known is unclear. My best guess is Carol told Alvin.

Alta about all this. And she's just kind of passed on whatever story she was told. But again, a lot of this is just unexplainable. So then Alta was at work all day and she said that she told the babysitter to drop Melissa back off around five or six when she got home. So she gets home and she's waiting for her and the babysitter never shows up.

And she did not have a telephone number for her. So she had no way of contacting her. Alta remembers calling the police. And of course, it was the 70s. And she was told that she had to wait 24 hours before they could do anything. But once that time had passed, she called back.

and the official investigation into the disappearance of 22-month-old Melissa Highsmith began. Fort Worth police and the FBI got involved, and because non-family infant abductions are pretty rare, they first went to Illinois thinking that maybe her father, Jeffrey, had coordinated her abduction. But Jeffrey was...

Truly just as shocked as everyone else to hear that Melissa had gone missing. So at that point, detectives started to look at this as a non-family infant abduction. Now, recent studies by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children states that although rare, non-family infant abductions are

often perpetrated by single women of childbearing age. When this type of abduction was more common, women who couldn't have their own children found ways to get children, even if that meant taking them from someone else. And for decades, that's kind of been the leading theory in this case, that this Ruth person wanted their own child, and so they did.

took melissa they saw the ad saw an opportunity and just took her there's also a possibility that she was sold into an illegal adoption ring and this stuff does happen it's very scary i mean the possibilities of what could have happened to melissa exactly are endless because so many years had passed since her abduction and when she was finally found so as you can imagine in the days and then weeks and then

months following Melissa's abduction, Alta really struggled. She totally blamed herself. How could you not? And she really completely shut down. She did make an attempt to get back together with Jeffrey, but at first he refused. And actually after about a year or two, he did decide to move back to Fort Worth and they got remarried.

After that, Jeffrey and Alta went on to have four more children, three daughters, Rebecca, Vicky, and Sharon, and one son named Jeffrey, named after his father. And what's crazy is they say that they didn't always know that they had a missing sister for years. It wasn't until they were about eight or nine years old that Jeffrey started to talk about what had happened.

Alta didn't like to talk about it and likely because it was too painful and she felt responsible for what happened to her daughter. So her siblings said that they learned a little bit about her abduction, but it was always very unclear what exactly happened. And there really wasn't much to tell them. It didn't seem like Jeffrey and Alta even really knew the full story. And the police had

no leads at all. It just seemed like things had gone cold and were going to stay that way. But as they started to grow up, the gravity of the situation really started to hit them. You know, they have this missing sibling who could still be out there and their interest in finding her continued to grow. And they say that they never gave up hope that she was out there somewhere. Their son, Jeffrey, who I'm going to refer to as Jeff because I don't want this to get confusing, but he...

My mom never talked about it. It's pretty painful. My mom feels guilty, obviously. Any mother would. Mm-hmm.

So we learned that from my dad. Melissa was born in November, and so every time November would come around, he would always remind us of her birthday. And I have three other older sisters as well. And so when I got to be seven, eight years old, my sisters would tell me the story about our oldest sister, Melissa. And it wasn't until I was probably 13 or 14 that I actually seen the... Well, I guess when the internet came out, I was able to look up her...

the old newspaper files and able to see her story. And since I've been a teenager, I've been obsessed with trying to find her. And, you know, like all victims of loss, you have to move on with your life and you got to, you have to live life. And we, I have, but I've never been able to let her go. I've never been able to say, I'm going to stop looking. It's always been

what I feel my life's goal to find my sister. And from what I've gathered, it seems that at some point Alta just kind of gave up hope that she would ever see Melissa again. She said that she felt like she had to move on at some point, that the agony every day of what happened was just too much to bear.

And I can't imagine, especially with how responsible she had to have felt all these years. But obviously Jeffrey has some responsibility here too. I mean, he just left Alta to deal with raising a baby on her own, no financial support. So she was in a terrible position that day.

And he has come out and said that he too feels responsible for what happened. I mean, he did say he was young and selfish at the time and that Alta left and took their daughter to Texas. He says he fully recognizes that if he had helped her financially, she wouldn't have had to work so hard and wouldn't have had to find this random person to babysit Melissa because she was in a desperate situation. But really, the main person to blame here is her abductor.

which we will discuss more later. When all this first happened, there was quite a bit of public interest in the case, but over the years, it slowed down a lot. Never really stopped, but definitely dwindled. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created an age-progressed photo of what Melissa might look like over the years in hopes that one day she would be recognized. And over the years, tips would come in here and there of people

mostly women who thought that they were Melissa, but every time they found out that it was not her and the Highsmith family was just left disappointed. When it comes to age progressions,

At the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, we are hoping everybody out there takes a moment out of their day to look at these images. These are basically images of what a missing child might look like now. So we do images of children who've been missing, you know, for two years on to 20 years on

on up, it doesn't matter. As long as a child is missing, this is part of our fight to never give up. And so when we put out an age progression photo, our job is also to distribute that image as far and wide as possible, to encourage everybody to take a look and just see if you recognize this

child. Now, it's not supposed to be an exact match. So that's what we want people to keep in mind. It's a likeness. It's what the child

may look like today. And it's just something that may spark recognition and also to get this case out in the public again. It's a tool for law enforcement and for us to hopefully get more attention for these cases. And we know that they work. We've seen children who have been missing for many years be recognized

through an age progression photo and make a difference in that case. And we've seen those children come home. So we're counting on the public.

We're counting on everybody out there who's watching and listening to do their part and just take a moment out of their day because you never know when you might help bring a missing child home. Most recently, in September of 2022, NECMEC received an anonymous tip where the person stated that they thought they saw someone matching Melissa's description just outside of Charleston, South Carolina.

A possible stunning new development in a missing case that dates back more than 50 years. One of the oldest in the nation, in fact. A Texas toddler named Melissa Highsmith is believed to have been kidnapped by her babysitter back in 1971. Well, now someone claims all these years later to have seen her in Charleston, South Carolina, a thousand miles from where she was taken.

The anonymous tipster said that a person resembling the age progression photo that you see on your screen now released by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children thinks they have spotted her. Their family first got word of this sighting after NECMEC and a local news station picked up the story. A little overwhelmed. We, I just seen it. Somebody posted it on Facebook and

We've seen the story from the National Center for Exploited and Missing Children. We've seen that story of what they posted. And I looked up her name, and we've seen the local news station down in Charleston did a piece about it. And then after that, more stations picked it up, and it just has kind of gone viral. And by October, their family actually went out to South Carolina hoping that—

this was it, that they had found her and their prayers were finally being answered. Unfortunately, just like every other possible sighting they had had up until now, this person was not Melissa. However, this tip was helpful. It really kind of reignited a spark for their family, you know, a bit of hope that they might actually find her one day and it reignited interest from the public in the case. My mom's lived with this pain for a long time. She blames herself because of

her daughter being kidnapped. A kidnapped baby in Fort Worth 50 years ago remains one of the oldest missing person cases in the country. Her brother, though, still believes that his sister is out there and hopes science and technology can help reunite them. Jeff and his wife made a Facebook page to try to raise awareness for his missing sister, and their family started to do interviews with local media outlets. Then it was a national case at the time

And nothing ever really came forward. No leads came forth. The SMU Jones Film Library shows police back then pouring over possible suspects. Do you think you'll see Melissa again? Well, I can't give up hope. And Jeff's mother, Alta, with the hope and heartbreak still alive 50 years later. I don't know what to think. Sometimes I think I may never see her again. I've never seen that video.

Her heartbreak is still the same. It hurts. I almost wanted to start crying. It hurts. And at that point, all they could really do was keep spreading the word and hope that one day Melissa might find them. What happens now to investigate this, to cross-reference DNA, try to find this person? Well, my parents' DNA is on file with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The Fort Worth Police Department reopened the case, I believe, last year.

My wife and I, we've done podcasts. We started a Facebook page called Help Find Melissa Highsmith. We ask all your viewers to please like and share the photos, what you see on Help Find Melissa Highsmith. We've actively done everything we could. We've done a couple of podcasts. We've done a couple of local Fort Worth TV interviews. And we're just hoping the momentum continues. The more people that talk about it, the more people that like and share the photos, the

more people that are interested in the case, if they share it with their friends, then her memory will never be lost. We believe she's still alive and

Obviously, somebody else does too in South Carolina as well. And as you can imagine, none of this was easy on their family and definitely not easy on Jeffrey and Alta's marriage. In fact, the two of them ended up getting divorced a second time just 29 years after they remarried because of how much they were fighting. ♪

But like I said, this story has a happy ending. And on Thanksgiving of this last year, 2022, Melissa Highsmith was reunited with her family. I cannot even imagine how incredible this moment must have been, how full they must have all felt in these moments. I'm sure there were a lot of, you know, bittersweet feelings thinking about all the years that they had missed and

and emotions had to just be running really high. I'm sure there were so many times over the years that they felt hopeless, feeling like they would never see Melissa again. And to have this closure and finally see her and hug her after all this time must have just been incredible. - It is overwhelming, but at the same time, it's just the most wonderful feeling in the world. - I just couldn't believe it. I thought I would never see her again. - And they said, "Dad, she's alive."

And I started crying. Like I mentioned earlier, the story of her being found after all these years is very similar to the case I told you about earlier this year. The one about Holly Klaus, who was discovered after 40 years with the help of DNA testing through a popular genealogy website. And...

This is almost exactly how Melissa Highsmith was found. The Highsmiths had their DNA on file with NECMEC, and on November 6th, they received a message saying that there was a new match, specifically that Jeffrey and Alta had a match through a grandchild. So the Highsmiths were connected with a woman named Lisa Jo Shealy, who is a clinical laboratory scientist and amateur genealogist who helped them interpret the results and

right away. They learned that these people had to be the children of their long lost daughter, Melissa Highsmith. We never gave up hope looking for her. Through the years, we had several tips. We would go off to other states and we would go off and talk to different girls, have DNA made and no, and our hopes were dashed. It was

- Just days ago, Melissa reunited with her parents after a DNA test that traces ancestry through genetic traits. - Her three children came up as my grandchildren and as my wife's grandchildren, Alta's grandchildren.

And there could only be one reason for that. That's Melissa was the mother. Jeffrey immediately found her on Facebook going by the name Melanie Walden. And he messaged her and tried to explain everything as best as he could. But where do we even start after all those years? But he told her that he'd been missing his daughter for 51 years and she was likely the genetic match.

Can you imagine getting a message like that? Melanie, who has since changed her name back to Melissa, says that at first she thought this was a scam. I mean, I think any of us would. It would be so shocking to get a message like this. She told him that she would pray for him, but she was not who they were looking for. Obviously, this is very understandable. I think...

Most people would have a reaction like this and a response like this. I mean, some strangers messaging you saying that you are his daughter. I would probably think it's a scam too. She was hesitant, but the more she started to look into the story, the more things started to click for her. Everything started to make sense. She realized that she even had the same birthmark on her back that baby Melissa did. So once she realized that she really could be their daughter, she reached out to the woman who raised her. And it turns out that this woman knew about this already.

all along. She actually purchased Melissa on the street for $500. They reached out to her over Facebook. At first, she thought it was a scam. My father texted me on Messenger and he told me, you know, I've been looking for my daughter for 51 years. This whole time, Melissa didn't know her birth family was trying to find her. The person that raised me, I asked her, is there anything that you need to tell me?

And it was confirmed that she knew that I was baby Melissa. When you were little, when you were a baby, I bought you, she told me, off the street for $500. And obviously, that was really all the confirmation that she needed to know that she really was the daughter of Jeffrey and Alta.

Now, as far as the woman who raised Melissa all these years, her identity and information about her has not been released, but Melissa had definitely experienced a very difficult childhood. Melissa says that she left home at age 15 and began to work the streets as a sex worker. And she had several jobs at different fast food restaurants as well. Her education stopped after high school and she went on to get married a few times and had three children of her

own, all of which she ended up putting up for adoption. Melissa says that she began to turn her own life around when she found religion. And I imagine and hope that since reuniting with her own biological family, her life has only continued to improve. Like I said, Melissa was reunited officially with her family on November 28th, 2022. And photos and videos from this are just as emotional as you'd imagine. Melissa said that she was just overflowing with emotion and obviously her

family was as well. I mean, can you imagine being in this situation? Just all of the feelings you would feel after all of this time. It was just a mixture of joy and terrified, being terrified and excited and

trying to understand, you know, make sense of everything. When we found out at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Melissa Highsmith was found, found alive and found right there in Texas, I can't even tell you, we were all jumping for joy. It was amazing. We know that these things can happen and they do happen,

But still, every time it is so awesome and it's really hard to describe the feeling. But in this case, it was extra special because not only has she been missing for 51 years, but we had just worked very closely with the family because a few months before that, there was a tip that came into the National Center and

While at the time we did not reveal too much about that tip, it was an anonymous tip. And basically someone had said that they

that they had reason to believe that she was in South Carolina. And so imagine that in this 50 plus year old case, somebody takes the time to call the center and say, Melissa Highsmith might be in South Carolina. And so we decided at the National Center to put that information out to the public.

Now, that doesn't always happen in every single case because a lot of times, because of the ongoing investigation, we want to keep some information private. And so this particular tip, we thought it would benefit everybody in the case to put the information out there.

And so we did. And what happened next was this snowball effect. People were learning and hearing about this case for the first time. And with social media, it just gathered and gathered more and more steam. And the family realized, oh, my gosh, people really care about

our search for melissa and they're getting involved and they're asking what they can do to help and the next thing you know the family traveled from texas to south carolina and

And they handed out flyers and they just dedicated themselves really renewing their efforts to search for her. Because of that renewed attention, it just gave them that positive energy they needed to push forward. And so they doubled, tripled their efforts. And then a few months later, they get the news that

She was found alive. There was a match because of their DNA that was submitted through a DNA site.

And so it is a perfect example of why we never give up, why families should keep searching and the public and investigators. And it's a great example of what DNA can do for cases just like this. And so, as you know, we've seen many, many cases now in the past few years that have been cold for decades and missing persons cases where they have been solved

because of DNA. So we could not be more excited for Melissa's family, and we hope that

the same will happen for our other families because there are a lot of other families out there still searching and hoping for the same outcome. And as happy of an ending as this is, there is more work to do here because the person who's responsible for Melissa's abduction has yet to be found. And there are so many questions still unanswered about

what happened. The investigation is ongoing and the Highsmith family does believe that the woman who raised her could have been involved in her abduction, but there is no confirmation of this yet. If it turns out that she is involved, it's possible investigators already know and they're just keeping that information sealed until an arrest has been made, but it's also possible that...

she wasn't involved in her abduction at all and she just purchased her on the street like she said like i mentioned non-family child abductions are rare but they were more common back then just because they were much easier to get away with at that time this woman could have

benefited from someone else's abduction or been in on it from the beginning. And we can only hope that answers come soon for Melissa and the Highsmith family. And despite all the good that has come from finding Melissa after all these years, it has come out that the statute of limitations on Melissa's abduction expired 20 years after Melissa's

her 18th birthday. However, luckily, the Fort Worth Police Department has said that they will continue to work this case until her abductor is found and brought to justice. Stories like this just make me feel so hopeful about the future when it comes to crime. The work that is being done when it comes to DNA and solving crime is incredible, and it only gets better every year. And organizations like NECMEC

do such amazing work for families in all types of situations. And that's why I have decided to raise funds for them because I know that they're putting it to excellent use. I know it can often be, you know, out of a really dark place, but this kind of story is a great reminder that not everything ends in tragedy and you can never really give up hope. I really just hope at this point that

that Melissa's abductor is brought to justice and that in some way, somehow there is a way to work around the statue of limitations. So if you are interested in keeping up with Melissa's story and supporting the Highsmith family and Melissa along the way, the previous Facebook page has now been turned into a found page where I imagine the Highsmith family will be posting updates and photos over the weeks and months to come. So if you are on Facebook, maybe pop

over there, give them a like, and send them words of support and encouragement. I know it will probably go a long way. I'm just so happy for the Highsmith family and for Melissa. I hope reuniting with each other has brought them both, you know, so much healing. But that's all the information I have on this case at this point. I definitely want to hear your thoughts, so let me know below, and hopefully this abductor is brought to justice one day.

That is going to be it for me today, guys. Thank you for joining me for another episode and make sure you follow the show on Spotify and Apple podcasts. It really does help me out. If you want to watch the video version of this show, you can find it on my YouTube channel, which will be linked, or you can just search Kendall Ray. I will be back with another episode soon, but until then stay safe out there.
