On the cold evening of Friday, January 22, 2010, in Brooklyn, New York, 7 year old Patrick Alford, Jr. was accompanying his foster mother to the trash chute in their high rise Brooklyn apartment. An odd call came in at the most inconvenient time, it caused a distraction, then Patrick was gone. He was gone without a trace — one may think, and now 13 years without any answers but a lead that expands from just in his community to extending as far as Puerto Rico.
A nearly 14 year mystery that plagues Starrett City. A case that’s cold, but active, with over a decade of unanswered questions and mystery that makes you question those around him, those who knew him, or what he ran to instead of running from.
