Alonzo Don Cade was 12 when he disappeared after attending a basketball game at Westark Community College on November 24, 1990. His body was found on December 20, 1990, in a desolate gas-well pit near the grounds of Fort Chaffee, a nearby military installation in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Investigators focused on George Kent Wallace, who was already in custody at the time of Alonzo’s body being discovered after an arrest earlier that month for the abduction and attempted murder of an 18-year-old. Wallace was considered the prime suspect and his name was linked to the deaths of two other teenagers found in a pond across the state line in Oklahoma. He reportedly considered speaking with investigators about Alonzo’s death while incarcerated but did not.

No formal charges were ever filed against Wallace in Alonzo’s case, and the death remains officially unsolved. Does anyone with memories of Fort Smith in late 1990 or information about Alonzo’s movements that day have anything to share?
