Kidnapped at 17 Days Old: Can Your Tip Bring Kevin Verville Home After 46 Years?
Criminally ObsessedShow Notes
HELP FIND KEVIN: 46 years ago, 17-day-old Kevin Verville Jr. was abducted near Oceanside, California.
His family has been waiting for answers ever since. But now there may be hope.
After NCMEC asked the public to share Kevin's story last year, new tips came in — and the FBI is actively following up on those leads today. But those tips alone may not be enough.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, Anne Emerson talks with Kevin's sister, Angelica Ramsey. She describes how the woman she believes was responsible for Kevin’s kidnapping went door to door through apartment complexes searching for a baby, deliberately targeting military families and looking for lower-ranking service members.
Angelica was joined by Angeline Hartmann, Director of Communications for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), who lays out the criminal profile investigators use in these cases: typically a woman who has recently lost a baby or has been lying about being pregnant, and needs to produce a child to keep up the deception.
Kevin's father put it simply when asked what he'd say to the woman who took his son: "I don't want to talk to her. I just want my baby."
If you know anything, say anything — this family has waited long enough.
