Two-year-old Kyle David Jansen vanished from his family’s apartment in Good Thunder, Minnesota, on December 22, 1991. He had sandy hair and blue eyes and was dressed in a dark blue snowsuit, blue jeans and snow boots. Each parent initially believed Kyle was with the other, and that misunderstanding appears to have allowed him to wander outside unnoticed.

Footprints led down to the Maple River, onto the ice, and stopped near a channel of open water. Searchers found his mittens and a thread from his jeans at the riverbank; investigators concluded he likely fell into the river, then about four to five feet deep. Despite extensive searches, Kyle’s body was never recovered. In October 2003 a searcher found a bone later identified as animal and subsequent searches turned up a child’s winter boot and a piece of material thought to be from his snowsuit.

What can anyone who lived in Good Thunder at that time add about Kyle’s last known movements or the riverbank that winter?
