A prominent real estate executive in New York has asked the courts to unseal the documents related to his own custody dispute, so that he can figure out who he really is.
The man, now 51, says he was abducted by his father when he was four, and had his name changed three times before he was eleven.
He never really knew his mother and now both parents are dead, he wants to know exactly who he is, and where he’s from, but court documents related to custody hearings are typically sealed for 100 years in the US.
The New York Post says the man “spent his childhood in boarding schools and summer camps, living under a series of false names, believing his mother had abandoned him to chase her Hollywood dreams.”
“But it was all a lie concocted by the father who kidnapped him.”
“I’m trying to unravel something that was put in place years ago,” said the man, identified in court filings only as K.R.
“I just need to have closure on this story because it feels like my life has been somebody else’s story, and I want it to be my own.”
