In an unexpected twist of fate, retired lieutenant Gene Eyster found his heart warmed when a rookie cop turned out to be the baby he rescued 24 years ago. The discovery in 2000 began with a call: “We have a found baby in a box,” sparking a journey of hope and unexpected connection. Eyster, who named the infant ‘Baby Jesus,’ often wondered about the child’s fate. Fast forward to 2024, he learned that Matthew Hegedus-Stewart, the baby he saved, was now a cop in the same neighborhood where he was abandoned. Eyster, who had recently lost his son, found solace in this reunion, saying, “he’s got the same grin, the same laugh.” They both realized the incredible odds of their paths crossing again, describing it as a moment that hit home. Now, Hegedus-Stewart patrols the streets where his life began, a testament to the power of destiny and human connection.
