EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — New York authorities have a lead in the mysterious disappearance of a 2-year-old boy outside a Long Island bakery 50 years ago.
A Michigan man now claims he was the boy.
Nassau County Police Lt. Kevin Smith said Tuesday the man contacted his office in the past few months. The man told police he believes he is Steven Damman.
The case was referred to the FBI in Michigan and Smith says authorities are awaiting the results of DNA testing. An FBI spokeswoman in Detroit declined to comment.
Damman disappeared in 1955. His mother left Damman and his younger sister in a stroller just outside the bakery in East Meadow. He was never found.
Damman’s father, Jerry, now lives near Newton, Iowa. He says “it’s very possible” that the man could be his son.
