Melissa said she has no doubt in her mind that the person she called 'mama' was the same person who abducted her."
"Rebecca told DailyMail.com how
she joined websleuth and was always trying to find Melissa and between 2005 and 2007 thought she came close but was heartbroken when she learned after a DNA test that the person she thought maybe her sister wasn't, after all."
