Disappearance of Steven Damman

Steven Craig Damman (born December 15, 1952)[1] the son of Jerry and Marilyn Damman, disappeared along with his sister Pamela on October 31, 1955 while he was left in a stroller in front of a bakery on Long Island, New York, United States. His sister was found unharmed a few yards from the shop. He was 2 years old at the time of his disappearance. In late November 1955, Damman's family received a ransom note demanding $3,000 for his return.[2] In 2009, John Barnes of Michigan came forward and suspected he may have been Damman.

John Barnes

In 2009, John Barnes, of Kalkaska, Michigan, who suspected that he was Steven Damman, underwent DNA testing. On Thursday, June 18, 2009, FBI Special Agent Andrew Arena released a statement saying that "DNA samples analysed by the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, show John Barnes and Pamela Damman Horne, Steven Damman's sister, do not share the same mother."[3]
