Gebar Byrd Jr. was a one-year-old boy last seen March 22, 2010, in University City, Missouri. Of Black and Hispanic descent, he had black curly hair and brown eyes and lived with his mother, Yasmin Rodriguez, and his father, Gebar Byrd Sr. An initial report said Yasmin left with the child after an argument; family members reported both missing on March 28 when she did not return.

Yasmin’s body was recovered from the Mississippi River in St. Louis on April 9; she had drowned and bore a cut to her forehead and bruises to her arms, legs and torso. Investigators concluded the couple’s relationship had been turbulent and say Gedar Sr. pushed Yasmin into the river on March 23 while she was holding the child. Little Gebar’s body has never been recovered.

In October 2011 Gebar Byrd Sr. was convicted of second-degree murder for Yasmin’s death and of involuntary manslaughter for the death of Gebar Jr., along with child endangerment and domestic assault, and received a life sentence. Does anyone have information about where Gebar Jr. might be or recall seeing the family in March 2010?
