'SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN'
AIRING ON '20/20,' MAY 6, 10 P.M. EDT ON ABC
Mystery of Three Abandoned Newborn Babies Solved Right Before '20/20' Viewers' Eyes
"20/20" asks: could someone ever forgive a mom who would abandon not one but three newborn babies within blocks of each other over a five-year period? It is an incredible mystery that is solved right before viewers' eyes, as "20/20" teams up with renowned DNA detective and genetic genealogist CeCe Moore. Janet Barnicoat, one of those three baby foundlings, started her search as many do, with a Facebook post begging for clues about her biological family. The post went viral. After hearing about her story, Moore volunteered to help her on her search. What followed is a bewildering and shocking story, as Barnicot discovers she is one of three siblings abandoned by the same mother. But once the three are reunited, they go on a quest to find that mystery mom responsible for the unthinkable. It all culminates in a dramatic family confrontation and a series of startling confessions. Even Moore, with her 16 years of experience, had never seen a story like this one - telling Elizabeth Vargas, "It just blew my mind."
The hunt is on in an unprecedented "20/20" mystery. Elizabeth Vargas' report, "Since The Day I Was Born," airs on "20/20" on FRIDAY, MAY 6 (10:00 - 11:00 pm EDT), on the ABC Television Network.
"20/20" is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir. David Sloan is senior executive producer.
