On January 22nd of 2010, Patrick Alford was at his foster home located at Spring Creek Towers in East New York, Brooklyn. He went with his foster mother to throw out the garbage in the hallway of their 11th floor apartment, when the phone rang, prompting his foster mother to go back inside and answer it. In just those few seconds of her turning her back, Patrick vanished without a trace. He hasn't been seen since. Before this, he was being cared for by his great aunt while his mother struggled with parenthood, but removed from that home due to it not being considered suitable, since she lived with others.

Shortly after his disappearance, a state wide search for the him was conducted, and it would lead to more questions than answers. Every lead authorities received has led them nowhere. Someone out there knows what happened to him. This is Patrick's story.
