EMOTIONAL BREAKING NEWS – the Girl seen in Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan’s VIDEO 24 years ago on This Morning and the Story of being abɑndоned in a Multistory Car Park stirs up the UK!

Twenty-four years ago, Sarah Meyer—then only a few hours old—was found curled up in a multistory car park in Surrey, wrapped in a pink towel. At the time, she was dubbed the “Baby In Pink” when she appeared on ITV’s This Morning in 2001. The aim was to appeal to the public and the police to help trace her biological parents.

Today, Sarah, now a young woman, returned to that very show, sitting across from hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard to share her extraordinary life journey and her search for her origins. She was accompanied by Ariel Bruce, the lead researcher from Long Lost Family: Born Without A Trace, who helped piece together her past using DNA testing and traditional genealogy methods.

Watching the old footage from 24 years ago, Sarah was moved: “It was crazy seeing that again, and it feels even more special to come back to where it all began.” In the clip, former host Judy Finnegan, who is now 77, cradled tiny baby Sarah, weighing only about 7 lbs, and told viewers about her heartbreaking start to life.

Following her appearance on the show, Sarah was adopted and grew up in the love of her new family. She shared: “My adoptive parents always told me about my history, showed me the newspaper clippings and footage. Thanks to them, I always knew my identity and my story. That’s the way it should be. Any questions I had, they answered.”

Sarah’s search for her birth parents will be told in detail this week on Long Lost Family: Born Without A Trace. Speaking about why she embarked on this journey, she said: “I’m proud of my story. I didn’t just want to know who brought me into this world, but also to show them that I’ve had a good life.”

“I know they might have wondered what happened to me—where I am now—and I wanted to give them the reassurance that I’m okay. I’ve found peace with it all, so they can finally let go of any guilt or worry.”

Sarah also shared that her birth mother had written a heartfelt letter thanking everyone who had cared for her as a baby. “The amount of gratitude I feel for the people who stepped in to become my family is immense—they don’t get thanked enough. They really are the start of family for people like me. For me, Wendy was that starting point.”

Wendy, a police officer, had appeared on This Morning back in 2001, holding baby Sarah and helping appeal to the public for information.

In the present-day interview, Ben and Cat played a warm video message from former host Richard Madeley, now 69, recorded in his garden. He said: “What an incredible ending to such a story. Judy and I were so passionate about trying to find your family back then. Huge congratulations from both of us. Have a wonderful life, with lots of love.”

Talking about her biological father, Sarah shared emotionally: “It’s insane how alike my dad and I are. He didn’t even know I existed. But the way he welcomed me into his family was amazing. Even my grandmother used to work at the hospital where I was taken as a newborn.”

As for her birth mother, who has chosen not to appear publicly, Sarah said gently: “The door is always open for my mum and always will be. I’ve had 24 years to process this story; my mum has had far less time. Life is complicated.”

Sarah also expressed her gratitude to Wendy—the very first person who protected her when she was most vulnerable. “Wendy really was the start of my family. Without her, and without so many others, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Ariel Bruce then explained the painstaking work behind the scenes: “Sarah trusted us with her search, and that trust is always the first step. We used her DNA across four major genealogy databases, and then combined those matches with conventional genealogy and investigative work to piece together her story.”

“It’s really a blend of science, a bit of luck, and detective work. But finding the family is only the beginning—it opens a lifelong journey of reconnection and healing.”

Sarah Meyer’s story stands as a powerful testament to the strength of memory, love, and the universal quest to answer the question, “Who am I?” After 24 years, the circle that once seemed impossible to close has finally come full circle—opening a hopeful new chapter, filled with love, gratitude, and family.
