4749 Days Missing
November 1, 2020 will mark 4749 days since Jaliek Rainwalker was last seen. Missing since 2007, Jaliek was last see by his adoptive father Stephen Kerr. Kerr had picked Jaliek up from respite care on November 1st, where he had been for about a week. They went to Red Robin in Latham, NY for dinner. The two spent the night at an unoccupied home in Greenwhich, NY. Jaliek has not been seen or heard from since.
I’ve been absent from this blog for sometime now. Over the years, Jaliek has never been far from my thoughts. 13 years ago, a 12 year old boy vanished without a trace. He would be 25 now, maybe he is 25 now. Sadly, we don’t know… but somebody does. There’s at least one person out there who knows what happened. One person who has been not brought to justice. One person who could provide peace of mind to those who love Jaliek.
I’m returning to my blog, primarily to keep those who are missing in the publics eye. They have not been forgotten. With any luck, it will renew interest in some of these cases that have gone cold.

Jaliek Rainwalker …6 years later …still missing
The six-year mark silently came and went. As I sit searching for any news on Jaliek, I come up empty-handed.
I realize that, for some, silence is golden. Realize that there are those who have not forgotten. Justice will eventually be found for Jaliek, it’s just a matter of time.
Where were we six years ago? If memory serves me right …Jocelyn McDonald’s father was offering a reward of $25,000 for any information leading them to Jaliek. A reward that would diminish by $5000 after the first of the year if not collected. Say what?!
Still searching …not forgotten …
Jaliek Rainwalker ~ Presumed Child Homicide
Just over 5 years since Jaliek Rainwalker was last seen by his adoptive father, Stephen Kerr, there has been a change to the classification of his case. Jaliek is no longer presumed a runaway but rather a victim of child homicide. While his story may have quieted down in the news, the investigation has continued. Cambridge-Greenwich Police Chief George Bell has said that the yellow fleece jacket that Jaliek was wearing the night he disappeared has been found. Searches have continued, as recently as this past Tuesday in Troy.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Barbara and Dennis on what must be a difficult day.
