Laura Gooder this weekend will be like many mothers, waiting for a Mother's Day call from her daughter.
But unlike other moms, Gooder has hopes of speaking to her child, Genevieve Rachel Nielsen, for the first time in 30 years to the very day.
Gooder has spent three decades wondering about the fate of Genevieve, kidnapped over Mother's Day weekend in 1976 by Gooder's estranged husband, Eric Douglas Nielsen.
A police officer arrived on Gooder's Frederic, Mich. doorstep this morning with miraculous news: Genevieve, now a 32-year-old woman, had been located alive in Arizona. She was raised under another name, which law enforcement officials declined to release, and grew up believing her mom had been killed in an auto accident.

a loss those years were.

Still what a gain to meet again.

Back then, there was nothing the authorities would do if you were not married. No milk cartons or postocards, or anything. He just vanished. Believe it or not, we found him a few years ago. Grew up being told first that she had died, then that she had abandoned him. He knows the truth now, but is not ready to meet the entire family. Happens more than you think.
