John William Carr III and Jackie Lee Spencer were born on August 29, 1942, at St. Joseph Hospital in Buckhannon. Carr, Spencer and their families have suffered a “lifetime of consequences” from the switch and are seeking unspecified damages, they say in the lawsuit. After finding relatives of the man, Spencer took a DNA test to see if he was related and discovered he was not. An additional DNA test also showed he wasn’t related to people he had grown up thinking of as blood family. Spencer and his wife contacted Carr, who took a DNA test that showed he was related to the people Spencer had believed were relatives.
