i feel like a parent was responsible, sadly. this is why he isn't reported.
What?!Guys... omg. My friend recognizes the boy as an unnamed boy in her family. I showed her the reconstruction and she freaked out. She stated the boy looked like a missing boy in her family who disappeared in April 1997. She doesn’t know his name, but when she asks her family doesn’t talk about it.

For nearly 20 years, the identity of the young murder victim remained a mystery despite dogged efforts by the Orange County Sheriff's Office to solve the crime.
Now, with modern DNA technology, the case has finally been cracked, bringing long-awaited answers.
"With technology what it is today, crimes that have gone unsolved before are now ripe for resolution," Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood said.
Blackwood announced Tuesday morning that the young victim was Robert "Bobby" Adam Whitt. He was 10 years old.
Based on the information gathered from the family, investigators were able to determine "a strong possibility...that the child's mother had also been killed during the same time period."
An unidentified female matching the search criteria was located in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.
Officials contacted the sheriff's office there, and the DNA of the victims was compared. The two were confirmed to be mother and son, the sheriff's office said.
A suspect in the case is expected to be charged once jurisdictional issues are resolved, officials said.
The suspect is currently incarcerated in federal prison on unrelated charges.
Turns out you were more right than you thought, @aThousandYearsWide !Hopefully 2019 will be the year we know who this little boy was!
This article has a photo of him.Rest In Peace, heavenly soul. Do we have any photographs of him at this time?
