The security guy said for her to look at all children's shoes as they are leaving the park. Sure enough she spots her kid's shoes and the kidnapper had already changed the kid's clothes and DIED his hair! She was one of the lucky ones. "

This happened to that person's child? Really? Because what you've just described is a fairly well-known urban legend. (Although the last time that I heard it, it was at Wal-Mart, not Disney, but the mom still identified him by the shoes.) It showed up in "The Vanishing Hitchhiker" and there was a Law and Order episode with that plot as well. I think that if you talk to that person again, you'll find that it didn't really happen to them, but to "someone they know."

Why look at the shoes? Why not just look for the kid with dead hair?

Why not just look for the kid with dead hair?

Because all kids have dead hair. So do all adults.
