On Halloween in 1955, Marilyn Damman took her two-year old- son Steven and seven-month-old daughter, Pamela to a supermarket in East Meadow, New York. While she went shopping Marilyn let Steven wait outside with his sister, who was inside a carriage. Ten minutes later Marilyn exited the store and was shocked to discover that both Steven and the carriage were gone. Shortly thereafter, the carriage was discovered, about a block and a half away. However, even though Pamela had been left behind, inside the carriage, Steven was nowhere to be found.
Over the years DNA testing has been utilized to determine if Steven was ever given a new identity. In 2009, a Michigan man, named John Barnes came forward believing he might be Steven, but DNA testing ruled this out. It possible that an adult, Steven Damman might be living somewhere under a different identity, unaware that he was once taken from his real family.

Chris Jenkins was a 21 year-old student of the university in Minnesota, who visited a Minneapolis bar on Halloween night in 2002. After leaving the bar around midnight, Chris vanished without a trace. He remained a missing person for four months until his body was discovered in the Mississippi river. Since Chris was still wearing his Halloween costume, all indications were that he died shortly after he disappeared. Chris was heavily intoxicated that night and since his cause of death was determined to be drowning, authorities initially believed it was an accident or suicide. His parents refused to believe this and pressed for a more thorough investigation. Finally, in 2006 his death was reclassified as an homicide.
