Buried Beneath the Lies – You’ll find me: Lisa Doe

My mother loved to sing to me. If I close my eyes really tight and think hard, I remember. I remember being in one room and her in another; separated by a child guard, she would sing so heavenly that it would ease my discomfort of her not holding me.

That was one of only a couple of memories I have from my early years. See my mother, she would never hold me again. I would never hear her sing again. We didn’t share our lives together.

Sometime in the early to mid 1960s, I was ripped away from my security. The peace, joy, and comfort I had with my mother were replaced with years of deceit, confusion, fear, and terror. Sure, I was given three squares a day like any inmate would receive. There was a roof over my head and clothes on my back, but it was never home. Not my home. I was abducted.

I long for the day I can go home. It’s been over forty-five years, but my desire is as strong now as it was when I was torn from my mother’s love.

The name Lisa is of a pretend friend of mine from childhood. Why Lisa? Could Lisa be my name? The difference in my story is that I’m living, breathing, and desperately seeking to find my way home. Can you help me?

I could have been from anywhere in the United States --East Coast or West Coast--or Canada. Anywhere is possible.

Here is what I look like today, my stats:

Age: (approx) 49
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'9"

Birthmarks/ scars: scar on inside lower right leg

Health conditions: Asthma, allergies, tooth with no adult tooth underneath, high blood pressure, diabetes

Other: Freckles


Do you know anyone else who looks like this, or looked like this? I’m looking for my mother. Maybe there’s a sister or aunt who are also searching for a stolen child from the ’60s? I want to find my way home. You can help me do this? Please circulate this to every person you know in this world. I believe that the right person at the right time will see this and know who I am. They can tell me. I can find my way home.



If you are the person who knows me, please contact:

What a heartbreaking story. I pray you will find your family. No child should have to go thru that, and no adult should have to wonder where their family is.

Thank you so much for your kind words. If you hear of any families looking for their children from around that time please keep me in mind. I will continue to search! One day my hope is to find my way home!

I pray you find your mom. I am so sorry for what you had to endure. You were a beautiful child and your mom knows, somehow, that you are out there and she is waiting.

I hope & pray that this person can find her family before it's too late. THere's a person (s) who can make this lady's dream come true because they have information that can re-unite her with the. And may God lead tthem straight to this site where they can read her story and, armed with their information, have the moral courage to come forward with the truth.

The following words are from Lisa Doe to all of you:

"Thanks so much! It was nice to see the kind words. I have received so much support from people! Thanks for all of your support it means a lot!"

Melanie said...

I want to say that I am truly sorry for what happened to you, how far back do your memories go? How do you know you were abducted? And what do the people that raised you say or have said about the situation? It's so hard to imagine that this can happen to someone but unfortunately it has. I have been looking on the Doe Network and I see a couple of possibility's, I do see who was ruled out as far as a possible match so its not them. Let me know how things are.
Sincerely, Melanie

This story makes me very sad - I really hope someone can help you get back home. I can't imagine what you've gone through. Good luck to you (and to those searching for answers)!

Did someone look into Judith Elwell? I know Judith had brown eyes but why not look into it anyways! Judith was kidnapped from Oklahoma City Ok during the 1960s at 5 years old. She has a brother still alive. At least rule it out with DNA! Your story touched me!!! I am a mommy and if my child was kidnapped I would be heartbroken!! God bless you! I hope you find your real family!! Also please look into the site called NamUs. It has many missing cases where family have submitted DNA into the database! Maybe they can find your family!!
