Terry Brown Sr. was fifteen years old in 1944 when he first heard about a black baby boy who was abducted from a Los Angeles hospital. In 2014, another black baby was abducted from the same hospital—Harbor General. Terry Jr. had been hearing about the two cases from his father for years. This was because his father had been investigating them since 1954. The first case he heard about was a black baby boy abducted from this Creole family in New Orleans in 1874, seventy years before the 1944 case in Los Angeles. With the case in 2014, this made it three black baby boys taken, each abduction seventy years apart—New Orleans, 1874; Los Angeles, 1944; and Los Angeles, again, 2014—there had to be a connection. Terry Brown Sr. was an attorney. He had been one of a handful of blacks to gradu-ate from USC Law School in 1954. Even though he graduated with honors, he could not find a job with one of the white law firms. He then became a private investigator for the Los Angeles County sheriff's office and the Los Angeles Police Department in 1955, spe-cializing in cold cases or hard-to-solve cases. He had been assigned the cold case dealing with the abduction of the baby boy from Harbor General in 1944. He decided to include the 1874 abduction case in Louisiana to see if there was a connection to the 1944 case here in Los Angeles. Terry Sr. was briefed by the sheriff's department on the 1944 case and was in-formed that this kind of case was rare—the abduction of a black baby boy. When the 1944 kidnapping case became a cold case in 1954, Terry decided to read all the information he could discover on the 1874 case in Louisiana. After reading about the 1874 case in information he found at the main downtown library, Terry decided he had two very similar cases. Although miles apart, he was very sure that they were related.
