At age 45, Steve Patterson made a shocking online discovery: his own missing person’s page.
Desperate to uncover why he had been included on the list, Steve called Todd Matthews, a missing-persons investigator, in search of answers.

In this bonus episode, we hear from Dr. Amanda Baden, an expert on the experiences of late discovery adoptees.
