Rilya Alert JYRINE HARRIS

JYRINE HARRIS
Case Type: Endangered Missing
DOB: Dec 15, 1999 Sex: Male
Missing Date: Jun 23, 2002 Race: Black
Age Now: 9 Height: 3'0" (91 cm)
Missing City: IRVINGTON Weight: 32 lbs (15 kg)
Missing State : NJ Hair Color: Brown
Missing Country: United States Eye Color: Brown


Jyrine was last seen sleeping in his bed on the second floor of his home on 40th Street in Irvington, New Jersey at 1:00 a.m. on June 23, 2002. He disappeared in the early hours of the morning while his teenage sister, LaElisa Harris, was watching television downstairs with her boyfriend, Gregory Jones-McCrae. The family searched the house before reporting Jyrine's disappearance to police at 5:00 a.m.
Jyrine lived with his grandmother and eight other people, including LaElisa, at the time of his disappearance. He had been taken from the home of his mother, Janet Harris, on May 31 after she was arrested on charges of abusing him. Janet was still in police custody at the time her son disappeared. (The charges against her were dropped after his disappearance, as it was determined that Jyrine could have sustained his injuries as a result of his bone disease rather than from abuse.) Authorities do not believe Jyrine was taken by either of his parents. It is also unlikely that he wandered away from the home, due to the broken leg which limited his mobility, and due to the fact that he has not been found.

Police have stated that Jones-McCrae has not been cooperative in the investigation. He has not been charged in connection with Jyrine's disappearance, however. Jyrine's four-year-old cousin, who shared a bedroom with him, says a Caucasian man and an African-American man abducted the child. Janet and Jyrine's father do not believe he was abducted, however; Janet believes there was an accident in the home that night and Jyrine disappeared as a result.

Most of the people in Jyrine's house the night he vanished have not been ruled out as suspects in his disappearance, but there is little evidence available in his case. His case remains unsolved.

Rilya Alert Alexander Sol Olive

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance


Missing Since: November 9, 1985 from South Lake Tahoe, California
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date Of Birth: May 16, 1981
Age: 4 years old
Height and Weight: 4'0; 35 pounds

Distinguishing Characteristics: Red hair; brown eyes. Alexander has a birthmark on his left calf. He has a very small scar on the right corner of his mouth and scars around both of his ankles. Alexander is referred to as "Salaam Alexander Roberson" by his father. He is biracial, of African-American and Arab-American descent.



Details of Disappearance

Alexander was initially abducted by his non-custodial father, Ulysses H. Roberson, on November 9, 1985 from his home in San Francisco, California. His mother, Rosemary Olive, went to Roberson's South Lake Tahoe, California home in December 1985 and demanded to know her son's whereabouts. Roberson refused to divulge the information and assaulted Rosemary. Roberson was convicted and served one year in jail for abusing Rosemary, who won a court order seeking Alexander's return to her custody. The child has never been located.
Roberson has been the prime suspect in Alexander's disappearance since the onset of the investigation. He is often referred to as a 'cult-like figure' in the press and allegedly lured many women into abusive relationships over the years. Roberson advertised himself as an 'astrologer' and promised horoscopes to female victims, then began abusing them. He is reportedly a charismatic person who often lured other women into abusive situations by offering drugs or alcohol as a means of coercion.
Roberson was convicted of raping a young girl and abusing a young boy in Washington after Alexander disappeared. Investigators lacked enough evidence to charge him in Alexander's presumed death for years, although a female witness claimed she saw Roberson beat Alexander with a piece of firewood in South Lake Tahoe shortly after the child was abducted. The witness stated that Roberson found Alexander hiding in the garage with a blanket. The witness said that Roberson remarked the child had 'spunk,' saying he was 'almost dead' after the abuse and still had the strength to hide. Prosecutors were unable to locate additional evidence to substantiate the woman's story at the time, although investigators believed that Roberson had indeed murdered Alexander.
Authorities were able to persuade an additional witness to testify against Roberson in his son's case in 2001. The woman stated that she saw Roberson beat Alexander to death in late 1985. The witness said that Roberson loaded his son's remains into his van and forced her into the passenger's seat. She said that Roberson ordered her to keep her eyes closed during the journey and threatened to kill her if she disobeyed. The witness remembered little about the ride, but said that Roberson stopped the van near a body of water in the South Lake Tahoe region. He then allegedly continued to drive for an additional two to three hours before stopping at a remote location in California or Nevada. Authorities believe Roberson buried Alexander's body somewhere in that area.
DNA tests in 2001 proved that Alexander's blood was located on clothing found in Roberson's van in 1986. The new scientific evidence, along with the additional witness' statements, allowed investigators to charge Roberson with Alexander's murder in October 2001. Authorities are continuing to search for Alexander's remains. His mother has since kept a low profile and is attempting to rebuild her life.
