On August 10th 1989 18 month old Shane Walker went missing from Martin Luther King Jr Park. To this day no one knows where he is. There is also another case eerily similar... Christopher Dansby. He was only 2 years old and went missing from the same park just a few months earlier, he has also never been found.
If you have any information on this case please call NYPD 646-610-6914
