Oh, we thought, this is the mom, this is the family, this is it.

I was so, no, no, no, she's lying, she's lying. This is it, because when you're researching family from another part of the country, and all of a sudden you find this relative in the right spot, in the right place, at the right time, it has to be.

2006.

I was hooked. I was absolutely hooked.

I wasn't prepared for the emotion that I had right then. I couldn't control myself. I remember sitting on the couch and just crying because I was so happy.

You think, what if this is your family? What if this could be your friend? This has become an obsession. I said, I think I know how we can do it.

I think the thing that surprised me the most is that there were already flowers there. The community over the years paid attention and didn't forget her.

Ten might be a slow day. This has become an obsession.

And one day... While I was helping an adoptee, that adoptee got a phone call from the DNA Doe Project. And she was told that she was distantly related to a Jane Doe. I just got intrigued. And I said, can I talk to them?

It makes it personal because you think, what if this is your family? What if this could be your friend?
