Baby abandoned in airport bathroom finds family after 33 years. But mysteries remain

He was left in the ladies airport bathroom on the cold floor.

He was bundled in a a blue and white checkered blanket and doctors judged the baby boy to be 10 days old. The infant had been fed and well cared for, and was sleeping so peacefully that the a duty-free sales assistant who was washing her hands thought he was a rag heap.

No one came forward for the baby called "Gary Gatwick," after the airport’s teddy-bear mascot. He was found in 1986 at Gatwick Airport, 30 miles south of London’s center.

He went into foster care, was eventually adopted and renamed Steve Hydes, according to the Guardian.

Now with two children of his own, Hydes wanted to find his birth parents. He announced he finally did on Facebook earlier this month. But the journey to locate his family was frustrating and not every mystery was solved.
