Christie and Bobby Baskin are expected to be reunited with their parents in San Jose, California, after being missing for nearly 20 years. The two were kidnapped by their grandfather, Marvin Maple, in 1989 after Maple accused his daughter and son in-law of abusing the two children. Although no evidence was found to substantiate the claims of abuse, Maple abducted the children in Tennessee and brought the then eight year old Christie and seven year old Bobby to California.PeopleMagazine: Kidnapped 20 Years Ago, Kids to Reunite with Parents (February 5, 2009)
