Four-year-old Rondreiz Cortez Phillips, known as Junior, vanished from his family’s front yard in the 100 block of Howard Road in Lisbon, Louisiana, in early April 2018. He was last seen about 11:30 a.m. wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and black and yellow rubber boots. His mother, Shelia S. Phillips, was inside the home and her boyfriend, Nicholas Gilbert, was reportedly outside working on his truck when the child could not be located.

The Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office led a large search joined by state police, the FBI and hundreds of volunteers. Drones, helicopters, cadaver dogs and a drained nearby pond were used but produced no clues. A Level II Endangered/Missing Child advisory was issued; the case did not meet criteria for an AMBER Alert. In later years both the mother and her boyfriend were arrested on unrelated charges; both have maintained their innocence in Rondreiz’s disappearance. The case has been publicized nationally, age-progressed images were released, and the FBI is offering a reward for information.
