The Penultimate Meeting

A few weeks later The Welfare Department started receiving calls for adopting the girl child, but the authorities made it clear that the girl was not to be adopted by anyone till the time she is fully recovered. The authorities did not want her to leave until and unless they were sure that she had recovered and was in pretty good health to be ready for adoption.

Is It Goodbye Then?

But after a few weeks, the girl child was going to be adopted. It was a heartbreaking moment for Dave as he had to say goodbye to the little one. “They handed her to me and they said, ‘She’s being adopted next week.’ They had her wrapped in a blanket. She was sound asleep. So I got to say goodbye to her,” he said.

But Dave had no idea where Roseann was headed to.

Where’s Roseann Wayne?

With the passing time, Dave started to get curious to know more about Roseann and thought of getting in touch with Roseann. This was the time when he decided that he would give his best and start and try to search for Roseann. But each and every time he tried his efforts went in vain as he would face some or the other obstacle each and every time.

The Search Begins

Dave did realize that it was not an easy job to find a person with a name that he wasn’t sure, she would have continued to have and with no idea of her whereabouts. But he was perseverant about finding her and decided that he won’t stop, no matter the time or the efforts needed and will try his best to find out. And therefore he started a full-fledged search for Roseann.

John Catey

Dave tried a lot but he was nowhere close to finding Roseann, but he wasn’t ready to give up so easily. To widen his area he tried and contacted a retired sheriff John Catey of Wayne County. He thought that maybe John might have a bit of experience in the area of finding people and that might get him some results. Dave told the sheriff that he has been trying to locate Roseanne for more than 40 years.

An Unsung Hero

“He said he continually wondered what happened to Roseann and how wonderful it would be to just talk to her and find out what her life has been like,” Catey said. The retired sheriff found Dave’s story genuine and this was what made him try his best to find who this lady was and where was she nowadays.
