Luis Albino was born in Puerto Rico in 1945 – one of six siblings. When Luis was five, his family moved to Oakland, California. About a year later, Luis and his older brother, Roger, went to play in the park. Roger came back alone, saying Luis had left with a strange woman who’d promised him candy. The police didn’t believe Roger’s story. They assumed the boy had fallen into the San Francisco Bay and drowned. Luis’ family never stopped hoping. In 2020, sixty-nine years after Luis’ disappearance, one of his nieces took an Ancestry DNA test that matched with a man living on the east coast. Luis had been raised by a couple (both now long deceased) he’d always assumed were his biological parents. He’d been a firefighter and served two tours in Vietnam in the Marines. He had children and grandchildren by the time he was finally reunited with his birth family.
