Donel Jacoby Minor was 2 months old when he was taken from his Inglewood, California, apartment on December 20, 1984. An unidentified man posing as a photographer told Donel’s mother, Deanna Trammel, he had photos of the baby and was allowed inside. While Trammel briefly left to get him a glass of water, the man fled with Donel and neither has been seen since.

The abductor was described as a Caucasian male about 6 feet tall, brown hair, a mustache, thin build, wearing a white dress shirt, dark tie and dark trousers. Investigators produced a sketch, searched portrait businesses from the period, and Trammel passed a polygraph; no evidence has tied her to the crime. The case is classified as a non-family abduction and remains unsolved despite age-progressed images and ongoing involvement from the Inglewood Police Department and national organizations.

Did anyone in Inglewood or the surrounding area ever encounter someone matching that description around December 1984 or have information about a stranger claiming to be a photographer?
