Campaign ManagerHaving a child is a beautiful experience for some. But sometimes kids are separated from their parents and siblings and it is almost impossible to imagine what a family would go through if that child was stolen from them, kidnapped.
It happened with a family and who came to their rescue after more than three decades? The answer is astonishing and hopeful. For 37 years,the family did not forget about their lost child and tried everything to get her back.
Reminiscing One Summer Night
Just like all other days, Steve Inman’s baby was 2 months old and his wife, Donna had taken him to bed, but Steve was still awake. Like most nights he thought of the tragedy that had struck his family a long time ago. He spent some time wondering if he was ready to go down the memory lane and then decided to go there even if he wasn’t, it was an incident he should not be allowed to forget.
Opening A Box
Inside his closet, in his current residence in Fontana California, kept safely was a box of old family photographs which Steve decided to explore, again. On top of that, he found a picture of his younger self and he could not contain the involuntary smile that graced his face as he noticed that his baby boy had the same round ears as he did, even their lips were similarly shaped. But that wasn’t the reason why he opened the album.
Sally, A War Baby
An American soldier stationed in South Korea, Steve Inman Sr. fell in love with a Korean woman named Chum Ku Yi. After a small period of courtship, they got married. They were happy together and Chum got pregnant but when it was time to deliver her baby, they could not get to the base hospital soon enough.
All Resorts
Steve Jr. did everything he could to find his sister that people did to find the people they lost years ago. He emailed his story and the details about his lost sister to news stations in hope of getting them interested. He even wrote to Oprah, hoping to get her attention, so he would get a stage to talk about his lost sister. None of this seemed to work out. Then he came up with another idea.
One Of The Faces On The Book
Hoping that his sister was on the social media, no matter by whichever name- Steve Jr. set up a page named Sally Inman (Missing Child). If she was alive and grew up in Korea then the nanny could have probably given a Korean name. He also uploaded 12 photos of Sally on the page and gave details of her abduction, hoping some positive response would come.
Fateful Sunday
In an interview with the Pasadena Star News Steve observed, “It was like a normal day, laying around watching the Food Network… and then the phone rang.” Steve let it go to voicemail as the number was unknown. When he heard the voicemail he thought it was another prank but it turned out to be a life-changing call.
