Jesus De La Cruz was 6 when he vanished from Lynn, Massachusetts, on September 28, 1996. He was last seen around 6:00 p.m. walking near his home on Park Street, pushing a broken pink Huffy bicycle. Witnesses say a man approached him and lured him away with the promise of a new bike; Jesus never returned.

The man described by witnesses was later identified as local resident Robert Levesque. He was seen with a dog that matched the children’s descriptions. Levesque was questioned, his apartment was searched and investigators found items described as suspicious, but no conclusive evidence ever tied him to Jesus’ disappearance and no charges were filed. Numerous searches and tips followed over the years, and the FBI has issued age-progression images, but Jesus has not been found.

Anyone who may have seen Jesus that evening, remembers a man offering a bike, or has information about Robert Levesque’s movements near Park Street is asked to come forward.
