Hornbeck was eleven years old when he was kidnapped while riding his bicycle near his Richwoods, Missouri, home on October 6, 2002. Shortly after Hornbeck's disappearance, his parents appeared on ''The Montel Williams Show'', where self-described psychic Sylvia Browne told the Akers that Hornbeck was dead. Browne also described the abduction, telling them several things about the abductor that later proved to be incorrect.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWlscV3mvL4 SYLVIA BROWN WRONG: Shawn Hornbeck〕 Hornbeck was missing for over four years before being discovered on January 12, 2007.
