In 1952, a nine-year-old boy disappeared from the Exeter School — later known as the Ladd School — and what followed became the largest manhunt in Rhode Island history. Bloodhounds, helicopters, and hundreds of searchers scoured the countryside, yet the trail only grew stranger. This episode revisits the disappearance, the search, and the unsettling questions that remain.
