Luis Armando Albino was kidnapped in 1951 at age six from an Oakland park. He was found decades later thanks to his niece's efforts using ancestry tests, old photos, and newspaper clippings.
Luis Armando Albino was 6 years old in 1951 when he was abducted while playing at an Oakland , California park. Now, more than seven decades later, Albino has been found thanks to help from an online ancestry test, old photos and newspaper clippings.The Bay Area News Group reported Friday that Albino's niece in Oakland â with assistance from police, the FBI and the Justice Department â located her uncle living on the East Coast.
A further search at the time yielded no answers or any response from him, she said.In early 2024, she and her daughters began searching again. On a visit to the Oakland Public Library, she looked at microfilm of Tribune articles, including one that had a picture of Luis and Roger, which convinced her that she was on the right track. She went to the Oakland police the same day.Investigators eventually agreed the new lead was substantial, and a new missing persons case was opened.
