A Heartbreaking Disappearance

On a fateful September day in 1994, the life of 6-year-old Michael Hughes was forever altered. Kidnapped at gunpoint by Franklin Floyd, a man claiming to be his father despite a blood test proving otherwise, Michael vanished without a trace. The search for Michael became a desperate plea from a broken family, clinging to the hope that their beloved boy would be found alive.

Over two decades later, the wheels of justice turned in a series of events that would ultimately bring closure to the Hughes family and countless others who had been touched by Michael's story.
