Police to search home, river for Kansas boy missing since 1999

By CNN

Authorities are planning to investigating a house Wednesday to continue a investigation for a boy who disappeared in 1999. This boy is named Adam Herrman, his biological name is Irvin Groeninger III. Adam was 11 when he went missing from his home in Towanda, a city close to Wichita Kansas. He was living with his foster parents Doug and Valerie Herrman. Valerie thinks that he run away because she had spanked him with a belt. The couple never reported Adam missing because they believed that he had run away to his biological parents, who had relinquished their rights as parents about 2 decades ago in Adams best interest. Doug and Valerie also adopted Adams 2 siblings. Adams biological father, Irvin Groeninger, said that "I thought what I was doing for them was in the best interest of the children, and evidently it wasn't" Adams sister, Tiffany Broadfoot, said the last time she saw him was at a birthday party. I think that this is really unfortunate for the children because they don't deserve to be in this situation and since Adam was missing since 1999 he is most likely dead.
