Mom Of Baby Who Vanished In House Fire Recognized Missing Daughter At Party 6 Years Later

Delimar Vera, who was kidnapped as a baby during a staged house fire in Philadelphia, USA, was reunited with her birth mother, Luz Cuevas. After six years of thinking Vera had died, Cuevas recognized her daughter at a birthday party. Two decades after being reclaimed by her birth parents, Vera reflected on her tumultuous past in a new documentary, Back From The Dead: Who Kidnapped Me?

In 2004, Cuevas recognized a six-year-old girl named “Aaliyah Correa” as her own daughter, Delimar Vera, whom she believed had died in a house fire six years earlier. 

Noticing a resemblance, Cuevas discreetly cut a strand of the girl’s hair for DNA testing, which soon confirmed her suspicions: Aaliyah Correa was indeed her lost child, Delimar Vera.
