4. The Yellow Fleece

It was winter in upstate New York, and the child on the school playground wasn’t wearing a coat. A concerned teacher sent him to the nurse’s office, where they found him a yellow fleece jacket to wear. That piece of outerwear would play a crucial role in the search for the boy after he went missing. On this episode, recollections of Jaliek Rainwalker’s life with Jocelyn McDonald and Stephen Kerr from family and friends paint a conflicting picture of the quality of the boy’s final years before he vanished.

1. Red Robin

More than 15 years ago, Katie Bonesteel was a waitress at a Red Robin Restaurant in upstate New York. She was in her first weeks on the job, and she wasn’t yet sure of herself. On the evening of Nov. 1, 2007, she messed up an order. It was the order for Jaliek Rainwalker and his adoptive father Stephen Kerr. Days later, Katie was called in to talk to New York State Police, only to discover that she was one of the last people to see Jaliek before he vanished. Learn more about your ad choices.

3. A Boy's Life

Jaliek Rainwalker’s life was not an easy one. Born to a drug- and alcohol-addicted mother, he was placed in foster care immediately. He would live with 5 foster families before he landed with Jocelyn McDonald and Stephen Kerr, the Washington County couple that adopted him in 2003. He was diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, a behavioral condition that makes it hard for children to form attachments to caregivers. It can result in violent outbursts and erratic behavior, something that his last two foster families said was too much to handle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2. It's Green-WITCH, not Gren-ITCH

The upstate New York village of Greenwich is tight-knit and proud. But it’s also haunted. People on the streets of the sleepy town on the Battenkill River remember the disappearance of Jaliek Rainwalker in 2007, and the story doesn’t sit well with them. A group of Greenwich residents and others formed during the pandemic to keep interest in the case alive, and they’re determined to find out what happened to the 12-year-old boy who went missing from their hometown.

5. Black and Missing

About 38 percent of missing children in America are Black, yet their cases receive disproportionately less media coverage and law enforcement attention than missing white children, according to the Black and Missing Foundation. The initial days of the investigation into Jaliek Rainwalker’s disappearance saw his case treated as a runaway by both law enforcement and his parents. But after 48 hours, Cambridge-Greenwich Police Chief George Bell began to doubt he was dealing with a runaway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Vanguard Stands Alone

The details of Keith Raniere's shadowy reign as the leader of NXIVM, which has for years withstood allegations that it was a cult-like criminal enterprise, are expected to be fully revealed at his federal criminal trial in May. Raniere, long known to his followers as "Vanguard," has for more than two decades been a captivating figure after founding the Capital Region-based organization that amassed thousands of followers and pledged to help "humanity rise to its noble possibility." But behind the programs that promised executive success and self-empowerment, Raniere's penchant for manipulating those who believed in him, especially the many women who would become his sexual partners, would lead to last year's collapse of NXIVM. All these issues and more are covered by Times Union investigator editor Brendan Lyons for the first episode of the "NXIVM on Trial" podcast series. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dunkirk in Brooklyn

Keith Raniere's shadowy reign as the leader of NXIVM came under fire this week during the start of his federal trial in Brooklyn. Times Union reporter Robert Gavin was in court for the first week of action, which included allegations of sex with underage girls, comparisons to Winston Churchill and emotional testimony from people trapped in the organization. All this and more is explored in the second installment of the "NXIVM on Trial" series, which is hosted by Times Union managing editor Casey Seiler. New episodes are scheduled every week during the trial. This coverage is supported by Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2. Pond Mystery

A peek back into the Times Union newspaper archives reveals a wealth of information about the investigation into Hazel Drew’s murder in the summer of 1908. But no official records remain, and all the players, from investigators to potential suspects, are long dead. Sand Lake Town Historian Bob Moore and retired Rensselaer County resident Mark Marshall spent years researching the case and trying to figure out what happened. But without anything official from law enforcement — something very unlikely at this point — they can do little more than theorize about what happened at Teal’s Pond more than a century ago.

1. Ghost Stories

Stories about a ghostly young woman appearing in and around Sand Lake, New York, have persisted for generations. Those who tell the stories, whether they’ve seen the specter themselves or heard it secondhand, believe it’s the ghost of Hazel Drew, who was mysteriously murdered and found floating in a pond there in 1908. For some, the ghost stories have inspired a quest to solve her murder. For others, they've spurred creativity: The story of Hazel Drew’s ghost became an inspiration for the hit television series “Twin Peaks.” Learn more about your ad choices.
