from Without a Trace

While on a day trip with his parents, a young boy suddenly disappeared. A search began immediately but no trace of the child was found. After eight months, a boy resembling the missing child was found in another state; though, his mother couldn't identify the child until the next day. Another woman turned up claiming that the boy was actually her son. Scandal and an eventual trial resulted. Decades later, DNA testing confirmed that police had it all wrong and they misidentified the found child. The child’s body was never located and it is believed that he was killed by an alligator the evening he went missing.
