Policeman Sees Own Photo in Old Stack of ‘Missing Children’ Files, Learns He Has 7 Siblings – Story of the Day

Officer Parker had seen some really tough days as a kid and grew up to become a successful cop. One day, he found his childhood photo in a stack of missing children’s case files, and it revealed things about his past he had never imagined.

Officer Parker took a sip of black coffee from the paper cup while he sat behind the desk, rereading the case files.

“Pulled an all-nighter again? You better look into the mirror once in a while, mate,” his partner, Officer Reece, said as he walked in.

“Tough case, man,” sighed Officer Parker, tossing the file on his table. “I’m not sure who is lying. And guess what? I went over their statements ten times. Is it their housekeeper? Children? Was everyone in on it together?”

“Well, we’ve still got some time for that. Wanna grab a quick breakfast? My wife was asleep so she didn’t cook.”

“Your treat?” asked Officer Parker.

“Looks like it,” smiled Officer Reece. “But the coffee’s on you!”

So the two cops drove down the street to the old resto cafe, grabbed a double chicken sandwich and some coffee, and returned to the station to review the files. They were both working on a case involving the murder of a millionaire businessman and his wife.

While Officers Reece and Parker were discussing the case files, something came to Officer Parker’s mind. “I believe a similar case occurred in the early 2000s,” he said. “They had closed the case because they only had circumstantial evidence. Not admissible in court.”

“I remembered it too,” Officer Reece added, “so I asked Chad to get the old case files from the storeroom. By the way, let’s call the maid for questioning again. Read her statement. She doesn’t have an alibi after 11 p.m. that night. She claimed to be sleeping, but who knows?”

“You’re right,” said Officer Parker. “Hey, Chad! Here!”

The clerk, Chad, brought the files and Officer Parker pulled out the case file of Cynthia R., who had gone missing in 2001.

While looking for possible leads that day, Officer Parker also chanced upon a stack of case files of missing children. He opened one of those files out of curiosity to see if it contained information about Cynthia’s case and was surprised to find his childhood photo inside.

“Jesus! I must be hallucinating!” he whispered under his breath.

“What’s wrong?” asked Officer Reece.

“I wonder what my picture is doing here,” said Officer Parker in a non-serious tone. “Wait, there’s a report too?” He was suddenly serious.

Officer Parker read his case file and buried his face in his hands. “Can’t believe this is happening to me! I was reported missing back then, Reece. Can you believe that?”
