Man Finds Abandoned Baby in the Woods, 58 Years Later He Meets the Woman He Saved

As a 14-year-old boy, Dave Hickman found an infant girl in a woods. On Sunday afternoon he was reunited with her. Hickman found a baby in the woods while hunting in 1955. Hickman spent the next 58 years trying to track her down.


...

Hickman was hunting with his grandfather, Clay Smith, in a woods along Indiana 122, west of Boston, when he investigated an odd cooing sound. He walked 100 yards and suddenly saw a baby laying in a pile of brush. He and his grandfather called the sheriff and the baby was taken to Reid Hospital.

The child was named Roseann Wayne and was adopted by a couple who soon left the area.

Hickman had been searching for her for years. In December 2013, he contacted former Wayne County commissioner, councilman and sheriff John Catey.

Catey turned the search into a personal mission, interviewing more than 75 people and looking up records at the Wayne County Courthouse, Morrisson-Reeves Library and online before finding Ellen Suey in California.
