Two Missing Children Claim to Be Found

It's a sad fact of life that children go missing all the time. In New Mexico and Germany, two young adults (who were children when they went missing) have been found. The unrelated cases have caused a massive amount of interest on the Web.

In New Mexico, a teenager is claiming to be Robbie Romero. Robbie went missing 11 years ago at the age of 7. The case was treated as an unsolved homicide case, though no body was ever found.

For years, Ronnie Romero, Robbie's older brother, was a person of interest in the case. Ronnie was never charged. In 2009, he died in prison of a drug overdose. Robbie's father, Rudy Romero, has also passed away since Robbie originally disappeared.

According to an article from ABC News, the teenager has agreed to a DNA test to prove his identity. The tests have been sent to multiple labs in an effort to speed up the identification process.

If indeed the teenager is Robbie, many questions are certain to follow, including, of course, what happened to him on that fateful day in June 2000. Watch a video from Albuquerque's KOIT below.
