A Michigan mother will soon be reunited with her lost son within the next month after 35 years of mystery... The reunion isnt what she originally envisioned she hoped she would find her son alive. However, now that she knows where her son is, she just wants him home.
In August, Clearfield city plans to exhume the remains of a man buried as Lee Michael Beeler, but thats not his real name.

Jourdan, known as Lee, ran away from his home in Belding to Utah in 1979. For decades his mother Mary Hagadus searched for him, even hiring a private investigator... Lee was the oldest of her five children and prone to running away. When he took off in 1979 at age 17, a man named Robert Beeler took him in.
It wasnt until last year, through social media, that Hagadus learned Lees tragic fate. He was 19 when he died, she said. It was the biggest blow; I always prayed that I would find him alive and that he had a happy life...
Hagadus believes Beeler is responsible for Lees death in 1982. Beeler died in 2012 after being convicted of child molestation, only then did his own children feel safe enough to bring forward the truth. He got into (Beelers) face and they went outside and they were still arguing about it and I guess Robert came into the house and said, well, Lees dead, Hagadus said.
Lee was buried in Clearfield, Utah under Beelers last name which had been changed with a forged Social Security number. Thats the reason Hagadus couldnt find him and never knew he died.
