Missing NE Indiana Boy Found Years Later in MN

Authorities say a northeastern Indiana boy abducted by his paternal grandparents back in 1994 has been found, married and well, in Minnesota. Indiana State Police say the couple were reportedly upset over pending court proceedings regarding placement of the boy, and allegedly took the then five year old child and left from their home in LaGrange County to an unknown destination. Over the years, several detectives worked with the parents to locate their son. Last September, police say a man in Long Prairie, Minnesota was found using the same Social Security number and date of birth as the missing boy from LaGrange County. Follow up investigations are still ongoing, and authorities say they've determined the grandparents, who are living in Browerville, Minnesota under different aliases, made statements indicating their true identities and verified that the young man was the person police were looking for, now 24 years old.
