Two-year-old Jyrine Harris disappeared from his bed in his grandmother’s home on 40th Street in Irvington, New Jersey, in the early morning hours of June 23, 2002. He was last seen about 1:00 a.m., wearing a diaper with Muppet characters and a cast on his right leg from knee to toe. Because the cast and a fractured leg limited his mobility, investigators considered it unlikely he wandered off on his own.

Jyrine had been placed in his grandmother’s care about a month earlier after his mother was arrested on child abuse charges that were later dropped when doctors raised the possibility of osteogenesis imperfecta. His mother remained in custody when he vanished, and authorities said they did not believe either parent was involved. A four-year-old cousin who shared a room told investigators a white man and a Black man had taken the child, while Jyrine’s mother suggested an accident in the home. The case has remained open with few solid leads; several people who were in the house that night have not been eliminated and one person has been described as uncooperative.

Did anyone in the Irvington area at the time remember unusual visitors or activity at the house that night?
