Michelle Marie Newton, a Kentucky woman who was reported missing in 1983 when she was a child, was finally reunited with her family after over 40 years.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced that Michelle contacted authorities after discovering her “true family history.” She had been living in another state under a different identity.
“This is the kind of case you see once in a law enforcement career,” Jefferson County Chief Deputy Colonel Steve Healey said in a news release, as per WDRB.
