Annalycia Maria Cruz was seven months old when she vanished from Chiloquin, Oregon, in the summer of 1994. On July 9 she had been taken on a fishing trip by her mother’s live-in boyfriend, William Russell Spear, and rode in an open backpack rather than a car seat. The last confirmed sighting by anyone other than Spear came earlier that day when a gas station attendant in Sprague River heard an infant crying in Spear’s car; that witness died a few days after the disappearance.

Spear says he stopped at Clyde’s Market in Chiloquin around 5:30 p.m., left Annalycia unattended in the car for a few minutes while he bought an apple, then returned to find her gone. He did not report her missing until about 6:19 p.m., after driving home to Sprague River and asking the child’s mother, Alice R. Fowler, if she had taken the baby.

Annalycia had light brown hair, blue eyes and a quarter-sized red birthmark on the nape of her neck. She was reported wearing either blue bib overalls with a light blue short-sleeved shirt and a blue and yellow shirt, or a white jumpsuit with pink animal designs, and white socks with no shoes. Does anyone who lived in or traveled through Chiloquin or Sprague River in July 1994 remember seeing Annalycia or Spear that day?
