A mother has revealed her joy at learning that her son, who was abducted by his paternal grandparents in 1994 when he was just five years old, is alive, married and expecting his first child. For nearly 20 years, Lisa Harter knew nothing of the whereabouts of her son, Richard Landers Jr., after his grandparents vanished from their trailer in Wolcottville, Indiana with the young boy. They had been raising the child at their home and are believed to have taken off with him as they were unhappy with the court granting Mrs Harter custody for a trial period. But now detectives have tracked him down through his social security number and discovered the 24-year-old living 680 miles away in Long Prairie, Minnesota under the name Michael Jeff Landers.
