ABC News- More than 50 years after a 2-year-old boy disappeared from outside a Long Island bakery, a Michigan man has come forward to claim that he was the missing boy, authorities said Tuesday.The missing boy's father, Jerry Damman, said he was hopeful the man is his son.
"After all those years, you kind of lost all hope," he said Tuesday.
Authorities didn't release the Michigan man's identity. He approached Nassau County police and federal authorities over the past few months and said he believes he is Steven Damman, Nassau County Police Lt. Kevin Smith said.
The case was referred to the FBI and authorities are awaiting DNA results to determine if the man's claim is true, Smith said.
Sandra Berchtold, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Detroit, declined to comment on Damman's case Tuesday.
Jerry Damman said "it's very possible" that the man could be his son.
