TEST CONFIRMS MICHIGAN MAN REALLY LIKES DNA TESTS

June 20 2009

Detroit, MI – There can be no greater trauma for parents then the disappearance of a child. The pain of losing a child and the enduring suffering endured by not knowing what happened or where the child may be can be almost unbearable for many families. Thousands of families endure that trauma every year and for many there is no
resolution. With almost four million unsolved child disappearances on record in the United States that horror is something all too common many families.

Such horror has been a way of life for the Damman family since 1955 when 2-year old Steven went missing. For almost six decades the family has held out the ever fading hope that their son and brother would show up one day and for a brief moment in 2009 that hope seemed redemptive. There was doubt when John Barnes came forth claiming to be the long-lost boy but the faint possibility intrigued the surviving family. After a DNA test FBI officials deflated the faint hop and confirmed that the Barnes was not in fact the missing boy but simply undergoing medical procedures.

“We knew that was going to be the outcome. My dad feels the same way. Neither of us had a doubt. My dad knows who his son is. I'm angry at my brother for putting everyone through this, turning everybody's lives upside down,” said Barnes sister to Fox News. “I’m not surprised by the test results. Medning fences won’t be easy. He pretty much lost two families today.”

Equally the Damman family expressed disappointment with the test results that had had high hopes that their decades of suffering had come to an end.

“It’s difficult to ascertain why exactly Barnes came to this conclusion. He has a family, he has a birth certificate stating that he was born two years after Damman, but for some reason he still drew the conclusion that he was somehow the missing boy. He did mention that he had a feeling that he somehow didn’t belong and had done a lot of research on the internet but that’s hardly conclusive evidence of a missing life,” said Scrape TV Crime analyst Willard Weston. “I mean you hear stories every now and then about miraculous events that were spurned by a gut feeling or some kind of research on the web but those are few and far between. I mean people get a feeling like they
are going to win the lottery all the time but almost none of them do. You can do as much research as you like on the internet but that isn’t going to allow you to pick better numbers. There’s a huge logical leap there that a sensible person wouldn’t make.”

Barnes is reportedly estranged from his actual family. He is also unemployed and living in a trailer. It is not believed though that this action was not a cry for help but rather an expression of medical fetishism, a growing discipline in the BDSM field.

“Very little is known about Barnes private life or what kind of sexual behaviours he engaged in but this is obviously an expression of something deep and unsettled in his life. Most fetishists will conduct their actions in the privacy of their own homes or amongst others of a similar mindset but very few ever play it out in public and involve agencies like the FBI. It may be that he has repressed this desire for so long that it came out in this very public way,” said Scrape TV Psychology analyst Dr. Sarah Welp. “There is a subset within that culture that gets excited by others conducting the medical procedures but I have never heard of someone involving the FBI in that process. That may open up a whole new avenue for the community though. I wouldn’t be surprised to see all kinds of people coming forth claiming to be long lost children and DNA testing becoming an essential part of the BDSM community.”

Reportedly Barnes is in the midst of researching the case of the missing Madeline McCann.
