Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6331) and 10 other sources
Jamie Lusher, a 16-year-old from Westfield, Massachusetts, disappeared on November 6, 1992. He was riding his bicycle from his father's house to visit his grandmother in Blandford, a 12-mile trip he never completed. Jamie was a special needs student with cognitive challenges, functioning at the level of a 12-year-old. His bicycle was found days later abandoned near a pond, sparking a large search effort that included draining the pond and combing the surrounding woods, but no trace of Jamie was found at the time.

In 2013, convicted serial killer Lewis Lent confessed to abducting and killing Jamie. Lent, already serving life sentences for other murders, claimed he had disposed of Jamie's body in Greenwater Pond in Becket, Massachusetts. Authorities conducted a thorough search of the pond, but no remains or evidence were discovered. Despite the lack of physical evidence, Lent's confession led investigators to conclude that Jamie had been murdered, though his body remains missing.

Jamie's family and law enforcement continue to seek closure, with his memory honored by his community and family through memorials and dedications.
