Tavish Sutton was one month old when he vanished from his semi-private room in the Hughes Spalding pediatric unit at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta in the early morning of March 9, 1993. He was recovering from minor surgery and was last seen by a nurse at 6:45 a.m.; when the nurse returned at 7:00 a.m., Tavish was gone. He wore a white flower-print t-shirt and hospital ID tags on wrist and ankle and had a quarter-inch surgical incision on his left buttock.

The Atlanta Police Department and the FBI led the immediate investigation. Authorities cleared his birth mother and his foster parents. Investigators developed leads including a man described as agitated who tried to enter the pediatric wing the night before without a pass, and a woman seen inside and outside the hospital carrying an infant—described as about 25 years old, 5 feet 5 inches, 160 pounds, medium-brown complexion and almond-shaped eyes. Composite sketches of two women were released and a $10,000 reward offered, but the case produced few useful tips.

The prevailing theory is that a woman pretending to be pregnant abducted the infant to raise as her own; age-progressed images have been released. His mother later sued the hospital and settled out of court. Does anyone have information about that hospital wing, staff, or visitors from March 1993 who might help identify the people seen that morning?
