USA: A DNA test has reunited a Texas woman with her long-lost family and ended a mystery that lasted over 50 years. Melanie Highsmith, 53, was abducted by a babysitter from her home in Fort Worth in 1971 when she was just 22 months old. Years of searching by the family yielded nothing, until DNA samples sent to an ancestry website produced a match. Overwhelmed to meet her family, ‘Melanie Highsmith’ now plans to change her name back to ‘Melissa Highsmith’.
