Ruth believes her daughter, born in Spain in 1992 and thought to have died, may have been stolen at birth. Maria Elena also searches on behalf of her elderly mother Ana, who believes her twin babies born in Madrid in 1958 were taken. Their cases reflect a wider scandal in Spain where babies were allegedly stolen at birth for decades, which Long Lost Family investigates in this special episode.
