What it is about

How do you know you're lost, if you don’t even know you're missing? The remarkable story of Melissa Highsmith being found 51 years after being kidnapped as a baby made global headlines, but the shocking details of what actually happened to her and the family that never stopped looking for her has never been fully told – until now. Melissa Highsmith was abducted as a 21-month-old girl from her Fort Worth, Texas home on August 23, 1971 by a mysterious babysitter. In a stunning turn of events, Melissa would finally be reunited with her biological family so many years later. Award-winning podcasters Sean Kipe and Jason Hoch bring Melissa’s exclusive story and explosive new details to the 51-year kidnapping saga. BABY: The Melissa Highsmith Story is a 7-episode limited podcast series and is a production of Particle Entertainment and Wavland.
