Channel A's 'Secrets of Detectives' Unravels a 40-Year-Old Mystery of a Lost Daughter
Channel A's 'Secrets of Detectives' takes on a heart-wrenching case of a client searching for her daughter, whom she gave up for adoption 40 years ago. The episode airing on October 23 at 9:30 PM features the segment 'Detective 24 Hours,' where the client's emotional journey unfolds. She became pregnant while living with her former partner, who left her with the words, "Don't have the child," and disappeared. Facing societal pressure, she couldn't register the birth and eventually met her current husband, who was raising two children alone. The daughter was sent to live with her uncle, who had no children.

The father-son detective duo begins their investigation with the address of the uncle's house, only to discover from locals that he had passed away. When they show a photo of the child, they receive a puzzling response: "He only had two sons, no daughter." The detectives then track down the biological father, the client's former partner, who now runs a company. However, when shown the photo, he responds, "Who is this? I have no idea," leaving both the detectives and the studio in confusion.
