MIDDLE TOWNSHIP — Fifteen years ago today, a freckle-faced boy disappeared from his neighborhood, leaving behind only a white sneaker and the memories of an 11-year-old who has never grown up.
Nov. 25, 1991, was the last time Mark Himebaugh was seen.
Each year since has been a year without an answer.
But his mother's eyes brighten and moisten with talk of a son who wouldn't swat a bumblebee in the house, but would capture it in a glass and set it free outside.
Maureen Himebaugh uses this date to do something positive and enjoy life with the memory of her son, she said.
“I'm ready for an answer. But I've also accepted that I may go to my grave and not know,” she said Friday from her home, where marsh reeds across the street blow in the wind.
“I just want an answer. That's all.”
She isn't alone.
“We're still looking for that one piece of information that might be out there that could close this case,” said Middle Township police Capt. Scott Webster, who 15 years ago was a patrolman assigned to the juvenile division.
