Steven Craig Damman (born December 15, 1952)[1] the son of Jerry and Marilyn Damman, disappeared along with his sister Pamela on October 31, 1955 while he was left in a stroller in front of a bakery on Long Island, New York, United States. His sister was found unharmed a few yards from the shop. He was 2 years old at the time of his disappearance. In late November 1955, Damman's family received a ransom note demanding $3,000 for his return.[2] In 2009, John Barnes of Michigan came forward and suspected he may have been Damman.
John Barnes[]
In 2009, John Barnes, of Kalkaska, Michigan, who suspected that he was Steven Damman, underwent DNA testing. On Thursday, June 18, 2009, FBI Special Agent Andrew Arena released a statement saying that "DNA samples analysed by the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, show John Barnes and Pamela Damman Horne, Steven Damman's sister, do not share the same mother."[3] As of January 2022, Damman is still missing.
