Hello all! This is my first post here and I’m new to this community. I’ve come here today because a missing persons cold case came across my newsfeed this morning. It’s about a boy who was found missing in my neighborhood in the 80s, and his recreation picture looked like a school photo to me.. It made me a little sad.

Here is what I have so far from the missing kids website (direct link here):

> Found on Eldon Street in Dorchester, a neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. Suffolk county.

> 14-16 years old

> Approx. 5’4” and 130 lbs

> Found fully clothed

> Found next to another deceased unidentified young man aged 17-20 who could not be identified

> Both of them appeared to have died around the same time

> Investigation done at the time revealed that they may have been from or have had ties to Bronx, NY

I tried to search in NamUs under different search terms but nothing came up. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough? I’m relatively new to this so I’m flying blind here. I’ve only heard about this page because of a YouTube channel I watch that talks about a plethora of things, to include cold cases.

I’ve attached the facial reconstruction here from NCMEC as well. I’m hoping that posting this here brings new light and new eyes to this case. Because you never know, someone could still be out there looking for their loved one.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I’ll be in that thread and keeping an eye on it.
