Three brothers — Kenneth (8), David (6) and Daniel (4) Klein — vanished from Minneapolis on November 10, 1951 after leaving their home on Colfax Avenue North to play four blocks away at Farview Park. A tracking dog led searchers to the Mississippi Riverbank; two caps and the boys’ Roman Catholic catechisms were recovered nearby, and investigators at first suspected an accidental drowning. River searches did not recover any bodies.

Over time the drowning theory lost support within the family and among some investigators, and suspicion grew that the boys may have been abducted. Several persons of interest were named in subsequent inquiries, including a former playground worker and a man who lived nearby with a suspicious history, but no substantial breakthrough has ever been reported. The case remains unsolved and the family continued to seek answers.

Does anyone have memories or information about Farview Park or the neighborhood in Minneapolis in 1951 that could shed light on what happened to the Klein boys?
