An Algerian man who went missing at the age of 19 was found alive recently, astonishing his family and community.
Omar bin Omran, who disappeared in 1998, is now 45 years old. He was discovered in a neighbor’s cellar, just 650 feet away from his family’s home, according to Al Jazeera.
The discovery ended a 26-year-long mystery that began during the tumultuous period of the Algerian civil war. Given the extended duration of his disappearance, some relatives had presumed him dead. However, his mother, who passed away in 2013, reportedly never lost hope that her son would be found alive.
The suspected captor, a 61-year-old man, was arrested at the scene after attempting to flee, BBC reported. Algeria’s Ministry of Justice condemned the act as “heinous” and confirmed that an investigation is ongoing to uncover the full extent of the circumstances surrounding bin Omran’s captivity.
Currently, Omar bin Omran is receiving comprehensive medical treatment for both physical and psychological traumas, as reported by the BBC. Remarkably, bin Omran revealed that over the past 26 years, he occasionally saw some of his family members but was unable to reach out for help. He claimed that his captor had cast a “spell” on him, rendering him incapable of seeking assistance.
The bizarre and tragic kidnapping was brought to light recently due to an alleged inheritance dispute between the suspect and his brother. The suspect’s brother posted incriminating information on social media, which prompted the National Gendarmerie — responsible for police services in Algeria’s rural areas — to investigate further. This led to a search of the suspect’s house, resulting in the discovery of bin Omran.
You Won’t Believe How the ‘Trueblue Twins’ Are Taking Instagram by Storm!
Even though twins aren’t that rare, people are always intrigued by how two people can look so alike.
I’m fascinated by it too…
But Megan and Morgan didn’t just catch people’s attention because they looked alike. When they were four years old, their eyes were so clear they looked like crystal water. Once their photos were shared online, they quickly went viral.
Megan and Morgan Boyd, known as the “Trueblue Twins,” became famous when they were just four years old. Their mom shared photos of them on Instagram, and people around the world fell in love with their unique look.
While most parents enjoy showing off their kids’ pictures, these twins caught global attention. Now, they have over 153,000 followers on Instagram.
It’s easy to see why, isn’t it?
The girls were born on June 6, 2011.
Their mom, Stephanie, came up with the nickname “Trueblue Twins” because of their special blue eyes.
If you want to tell Megan and Morgan apart, just look at their eyes—they’re the key to distinguishing them.
It’s only Megan who has two blue eyes. Morgan’s right eye is not blue, but dark brown and thus bears a completely different look.
This is how the girls look today at nine years old.
Many twins often wear matching outfits, and the Trueblue Twins are no exception.
Their mom, Stephanie, loves shopping for clothes for her daughters and keeping their wardrobes current.
She thinks it’s important for her twin daughters to look and feel great.
Many people are amazed by the girls’ rare blue eye color.
Some folks might think African-American adults with blue eyes are wearing colored contacts, but it’s possible to be born with a rare gene that gives blue eyes.
Stephanie, the Trueblue Twins’ mom, also has blue eyes, and she says she doesn’t wear colored contacts.
Even though her daughters have become social media stars, Stephanie stays grounded.
She understands that Megan and Morgan’s natural beauty could lead to modeling careers, but she doesn’t want to push them into something they might not enjoy. That’s smart!
Just look at these beautiful 11-year-olds today—aren’t they stunning?
Everything indicates that these lovely sisters will grow up to be beautiful women. Feel free to share this story if you believe the same.
