On November 6, 1992, 16-year-old Jamie Lusher left his father’s home in Westfield, Massachusetts, on a new gray-green Huffy mountain bike to ride 12 miles to his grandmother’s house in Blandford and watch a bicycle race. Small for his age and described as having the demeanor of a younger boy, he never arrived. A waitress at a Friendly’s in Westfield reported seeing him a few days later, and on November 11 a hunter found his bicycle abandoned near a pond in a wooded area. A drained pond and extensive searches turned up no trace of Jamie.

Investigators later focused on convicted murderer Lewis S. Lent Jr., who was placed in the Westfield area around the time Jamie vanished. In July 2013 Lent gave a detailed confession saying he killed Jamie and disposed of his body in Greenwater Pond in Becket; authorities searched the 88-acre pond for three days but recovered nothing. Lent subsequently recanted, and because of an agreement not to prosecute in return for cooperation, no murder charge followed.

Officials say details in Lent’s initial confession that were not public convinced them he was responsible, but Jamie’s remains have never been found and the case remains an unsolved murder. Did anyone in the area remember seeing Jamie or his bike that November day?
