Greenwich, New York: Jaliek was just 12 years old when he vanished in November 2002. His adopted father, Steven Kerr, said he woke up and Jaliek wasn't there.

Searches turned up no signs of Jaliek.

In 2008, a very (very) odd letter was sent anonymously to local news stations in upstate New York, claiming Jaliek is alive and well.

Jaliek's story is important for so many reasons.

First and foremost, a young boy went missing. Second, this case shines a light on the foster care system. Did the system fail Jaliek?
