| abstract | - Details: A woman named Miriam Parten (maiden name; her current last name is unrevealed to protect her identity) is searching for foster parents named "Pat and Mike McGuire" who took care of her after her father was taken to a psychiatric hospital when she was a child in 1945. Her parents later recieved custody of Miriam once more, and she never saw the couple again. In 1990, Miriam began have strange flashbacks of the couple and began searching for them. There is some doubt that Pat and Mike actually existed because Miriam can remember them only from flashbacks. What is more, Miriam's mother denied that Miriam was ever in foster care; this raises the possibility Miriam suffers from False Memory Syndrome. What is more, no court or foster records have been found for Miriam; however, the Dade County Clerk's office told Unsolved Mysteries that this was not unusual for the period following the second world war. Extra Notes: The case was featured as a part of the May 19, 1993 episode. Results: Unresolved. A viewer told Unsolved Mysteries that Pat and Mike McGuire did actually exist and sent a photograph of Pat. However, they have been unable to locate either Pat or Mike. Links: None
