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.

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

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

Dancing for "Kay Rose"

Every night since July 3, a group of people turn on music and dance on the street outside Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. The group that organized the dancing say it's meant to support federal inmates during the pandemic, including one in particular: Kay Rose. There is, however, no inmate by that name in the Brooklyn facility — or anywhere else in the federal prison population, for that matter. But "Kay Rose" shares the initials of someone who has spent the past two years in the downstate lockup: Keith Raniere, the leader of the formerly influential and now shattered organization known as NXIVM. On this episode of NXIVM on Trial, Times Union editor Casey Seiler and reporter Robert Gavin discuss the latest development in the NXIVM saga. Learn more about your ad choices.

Stranger Danger

The abduction of a 9-year-old girl in Saratoga County late last year made national headlines. She went missing the evening of Sept. 30 while riding her bicycle alone in a New York State park campground. State Police issued an Amber Alert, and along with the FBI and other local authorities, conducted a massive two-day search of the park and surrounding area. Police found the girl nearly 48 hours later on a property in Milton, New York. Her alleged abductor has been charged with kidnapping and several counts of predatory sexual assault. The case happened just a county away from where Jaliek Rainwalker went missing 16 years earlier. In this episode of “Rainwalker: The Lost Boy,” we’ll examine the similarities and differences between the two cases, and explore a much larger question: Why do children go missing in America?

The investigation takes several twists and turns, stretching out over 15 years. The case is classified as a probable homicide, but no suspects have been named and no body has been found. Yet law enforcement agencies insist it’s still a very active case. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
