In Fort Smith, Arkansas, one-year-old Ryan Burt was last seen on July 16, 2005, in the care of his non-custodial mother. Authorities classify this as a family abduction; Ryan and his sister were taken by their mother and did not return to their custodial caregiver. At the time he disappeared Ryan was about 2 feet tall, weighed roughly 30 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes.

The Fort Smith Police Department opened and continues to maintain the investigation. The case is listed with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP11384. Very few public details or significant leads have been released, and the file remains open and unresolved.

Does anyone have information about Ryan’s whereabouts in July 2005 or recall seeing him or his mother in the months after the abduction?
