0:00 [Music] all right this is pretty trippy a six-year-old girl that went missing since 2019 has been found underneath a harry potter style hiding place underneath the stairs whose stairs are these alive the same house alive and well in the same house she's been sneaking out to get food and stuff this is stockholm syndrome by proxy oh that's interesting you mean like self self willing so this six year old girl she vanished um she was with a uh she she was with a legal guardian that was not her biological parents so i guess her biological parents lost custody of her through something there's no reason shown and they were suspecting that the biological parents stole her back so they kept coming over to try to like
0:50 find her they got reports that oh that i think there's a kid in there but like no one could ever find her for two years so every time the um the investigators would come and look for it they would hide her underneath the stairs and the stairs would like fold up whoa so she had her own bedroom and all that she didn't she didn't live in the harry potter bedroom yeah so they they had her own her bedroom was there and everything but then when asked they're like we're just waiting for her to come back they would yeah they would go oh we want it do we want to preserve it for when she like returns to us why were they hiding her again because they're not supposed to have customers they're not supposed to have they lost custody of their daughters do you know why they lost custody there's nothing like that were they like on crackers sounds pretty intense customers wait did they do they treat the their biological daughter well like is that why she never complained or she's because she's six and like she's
1:41 she misses her parents yeah so that's the stuff but no like do they did they only hide her when like child protection services came out that's what it sounds like i feel like she was like a normal kid did you go to school obviously no no so uh during search of the property the detective noticed something about the staircase leading to the back residence that caught his attention he was shining a flashlight between the steps and then he saw her feet oh no way her foot was just poking out that's nuts so the father the mother and the grandfather all conspired together to hide their daughters what uh where is this this is in the uk wait no no it's not the uk i'm sorry it's uh because i feel like no matter what yeah oh it's in new york okay new york if you get your kid taken away from you and you're the biological parents you must
2:31 be ████ up we're ████ up somewhere you're you're ████ up a lot so did the foster parents or her new parents think she was dead for two years that's wild i'm sure they probably did yeah but i think it sounded like everyone was thinking that biological parents kidnapped her but they couldn't prove it yeah you know what's amazing well they were right this is when i laugh that's like you hear about all these these police departments that have tanks and stuff like that and like they didn't have a pair of like heat vision goggles they could just walk in there and just that's what we need bro they'd be like she's right there let's go that's cause you can't you can't solve you can't solve the missing kid with a tank but i'm like dude a tank is expensive what do you think about mug shot of the mom who's who uh jacked her she looks smug look at that smirk where is it she looks like a russian spy kinda looks like dobby yeah she does she does very harry potter themed did they say like how they kidnapped her or just probably
3:22 said hey come with me and they're like you want to go to mcdonald's and like that you want to come live with mommy and daddy he was like yeah that was it dude she was six it's probably super easy you're like hey your parents want you back okay yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm just curious like how the the adopted parents let her out of her sight i mean that's it's called kid jack i was like do you want someone ████ up it's hard to compete with like biological parents like if she misses her parents they could just roll up to the window right outside cornell university oh no way all asians know about cornell university oh yeah for sure we all know i heard of it but i don't know where it is never heard of it is it in cornell it's in new york yeah so the college that in the city
4:18 yeah so they got her and uh pretty interesting under the stairs well all that you know it wasn't like a nice um hiding place by the way like when they got in there it was all dingy and there were blankets that were soaked it was like i mean that's where you want to hide them though the place that they wouldn't look you wouldn't store a kid but dude that's a great detective right unless for two years he missed it yeah see that's the other thing to go to like two years he goes oh the stairs like what is that is that like you're just a really persistent task force are you just really bad at your job or it's like oh i think they're gonna be over here so we're gonna spend all our resources looking for this child not in this home we're gonna look over here but they went back to the same house over and over it's kind of like when you lose your keys right and you keep looking at the same places and you're like ████ i know it's here and then you're like i was in my pocket but there's a feeling in that house tile and airtight that's why i'm gonna tile my
5:09 child tile your child oh oh yeah yeah i'm a gps my my kids i got lost at the heathrow heathrow airport london airport when i was five with my mom going to india with my sister who was like four you were lost i didn't i didn't get lost i wasn't lost they lost you you were the gift shop i was lost according to my mom and my sister and um we had me and my sister had these matching usa uh junior olympic jackets so fire from taekwondo right here talk about my sister went to junior olympics for taekwondo so we had these matching track jackets from the olympics and so my mom used to dress us the same so we could notice this very easy right my mom couldn't find me for like an hour and they're like doing the last boarding call oh ████ to india and my mom started crying so my mom just sends my sister to go into the bathroom like the men's bathroom
5:59 and my sister's like ritesh where are you like screaming like screaming and they found me at the arcade playing street fighter that's like just having a good old time like my sister was younger and she was a really cute kid but apparently the whole time she was like cursing me out entire time you don't even remember i don't really remember but my mom had to tell my sister like relax stop saying ████ your brother no like she's like how could you do this like you mob my mom i probably never seen my mom really cry at that point oh ████ i'm like oh ████ i ████ up but did you win at street fighter probably did you finish your round before you left probably where you get all those quarries dude this was like 20 years ago longer than 20. it was like 25 years ago freaking hot machine though dude someone else took over right after you left no but they saw the indian they saw the indian kid with the usa jacket
6:50 and i'm like guile that's the right answer is that your favorite character they were like this ████ didn't even choose my mom almost got me kidnapped when i was a kid we were like yeah she brought so it was me my mom and my dad i was like probably four and we were going to circus circus and they had like a big like boat in front of circus circuits like those sweepstakes right you fill that out and you enter to win this boat or whatever so my mom was just with me and i think she's trying to buy popcorn and like or icys or whatever because i'm gonna go watch the show and she just realized she can't handle me and the food so she's like uh i'll put you in the boat and then stay right here the boat's really tall the kid's not going to get out of the boat so she goes i'm going to go uh get snacks she leaves so i'm just in the boat somebody won the
7:40 boat somebody won bart i'm just in the boat and then the cops come and they're like where are your parents and i'm like oh i don't know i think she's getting snacks or whatever and then so they take me to the police department oh no and you know when you're a kid like you just think the world's gonna end because you don't know i'm not gonna talk to my mom like i don't know anything and then so they brought me into police department and they were all just making jokes like just as regular dudes are asian jokes no no just like no chinese [Laughter] do you speak english no they're just doing that shade on this kid's head they're like do you want ramen they're just being like regular dudes right but i think when you're a kid and you're like so like shrunk in your mind
8:30 every time someone laughs it sounds like an evil that would ha but they're just probably ████ around like bowser laughing so they handled me i don't run away and uh and i just remember bawling in my eyes i was swearing i'm never going to see my parents ever again go to jail poor kid thought he's getting arrested and then finally my mom was able to come in and find me just arms full of snacks yeah ████ like two hours later or some ████ and on my ████ did you get your ass whooped no i didn't how did she find you and the cops were like we got him in the station we can't we handcuffs into a chair he's not getting anywhere i used to walk away so much from my mom that i became friends with like customer service at the
