“Dear Everybody, I’m sorry for everything. I won’t bother you anymore. Goodbye, Jaliek.” This is the letter that Stephen Kerr said his 12-year-old adopted son left in his empty bedroom at his grandparents’ home on November 1, 2007, right before he went missing. By all accounts, Jaliek was an emotionally troubled boy, and there was a great deal of friction within his family. Is this a note written by a child right before he decided to run away? Or, is there more to this letter and Jaliek’s home life than it appears?

Jaliek Rainwalker has been missing from Greenwich, New York, for nearly 17 years. In the 12 years leading up to his disappearance, multiple people failed this child. Now, the question is, where is Jaliek Rainwalker, and who is responsible for his disappearance?

Anyone with information regarding Jaliek Rainwalker’s disappearance is urged to call the Greenwich Village Police Department at 518-692-9332.
