A Quiet Morning Turns Into a Lifelong Mystery

On March 9, 1988, a seemingly ordinary day in San Francisco transformed into a haunting mystery when two-month-old Alexander Ferguson and his mother, Eugenia Cortez, vanished without a trace. The pair was last seen at their residence, and despite the passage of decades, no definitive clues have surfaced to explain their disappearance. This case remains one of the most perplexing unsolved missing persons cases in California. 

The Missing: A Mother and Her Infant Son

Alexander Ferguson was born on December 31, 1987, making him just over two months old at the time of his disappearance. Described as a Caucasian male with black hair and brown eyes, he weighed approximately 11 pounds and measured about 1 foot in height. His mother, Eugenia Cortez, also disappeared on the same day.
