The pregnant wife of Michael Richard Landers, the man abducted two decades ago by his grandparents, is staunchly defending the couple and saying "they made him the man he is today, my husband and best friend."

And it turns out the couple lives right next door to them on the same plot of land!

In the latest development in the case that has stunned America, the grandparents who ran away with Landers, then known by his real name, Richard Wayne Landers Jr., when he was only 5 years old, are getting support from the woman he grew up to marry.
