Marcus McKay – Mallard, Manitoba, Canada

Missing From: Mallard, MB

Missing Since: July 15, 2000

Date of Birth: February 6, 1992

Height: 4’2″

Weight: 70lbs

Hair Colour: Dark Brown

Eye Colour: Brown

 

Marcus McKay was last seen on July 15, 2000 in a wooded/marshy area off of Bison Road near Mallard, Manitoba.

Marcus disappeared while on a hunting trip with his stepfather, Rilley Chartrand. It was a swampy, densely wooded area.  Chartrand has advised that Marcus became tired and stayed behind with a deer that they had hunted. When he returned an hour later, Marcus was gone and never seen again.

He was wearing only jeans and a T-shirt. At night, the temperature has fallen close to the freezing point in the area, about 300 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.

In 2000, the search became complicated. The RCMP said too many inexperienced people have been looking for the boy and that’s caused problems. They said that hundreds of searchers, the bulk of them civilian volunteers, required rescuing after getting bogged down in swamp land.

The police presume that Marcus is deceased and are considering this a search and recovery. Foul play has not been outruled. The key people who may be useful in this investigation are anyone who traverse this area by foot – hikers, hunters, dog-walkers, etc.

Marcus’ family still thinks about him daily and are desperate for answers. If you have any information regarding his disappearance please call 1-866-KID-TIPS(543-8477).

Byron Carter – Philadelphia, PA, USA

Missing Since: Jul 3, 2018
Missing From: Philadelphia, PA
DOB: Feb 12, 2005
Age: Now 13
Sex: Male
Race: Black
Hair Color: Brown (May have some blonde/bleaching)
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 130 lbs

As I have been researching cases for upcoming shows, I was struck by the photograph of Byron Carter. I felt there was some kind of sadness in his face that made me want to learn more about him, and his whereabouts. There was a note that he may still be in the local area. Sadly, as is common with a lot of missing people of colour, there is next to no media coverage or information about him online. There are no news stories, no interviews with his family, no explanation of the circumstances of his disappearance. All that exists is what I have provided here, from the documentation on missingkids.org. I find that so troubling. Every single missing child needs our full attention, and there should be updates on him. There’s no way to even find out who his family is, to ask them if they are getting any action from local police. This got me to thinking about how a lot of teenagers have been treated as runaways or even throw-aways. This may often be driven by the idea that their behavior has not been perfect – maybe they have been involved in illegal activity, have an addition or some other circumstance. However that doesn’t make them less of a child – or alleviate any pain that their family may be feeling. We make too many assumptions in this world, and history has already shown us how wrong we are to do so.

I found the organization ‘Not a Runaway’ who share my feelings on this topic. To learn more, visit http://www.notarunaway.org/
