Six-year-old Cary Sayegh disappeared from the playground of the Albert Einstein Hebrew School in Las Vegas on a fall day when witnesses saw him get into a vehicle that had driven onto school property. At the time he was wearing a Las Vegas Quicksilvers t-shirt and brown leather shoes; identifying marks included a small scar near the hairline on the right side of his forehead, a gap between his front teeth, and surgical scars on both feet near the little toes. After entering the unidentified vehicle, Cary was never seen again.

The family received a ransom call that afternoon demanding $500,000 and promising further instructions in two days; the promised follow-up call never came. Investigators focused attention on a former employee of Cary’s father, Jerald Howard Burgess. Several classmates identified Burgess as the driver and others linked his voice to the ransom call. Burgess led police to one of Cary’s shoes in the desert and was later tried on kidnapping and attempted extortion charges but was acquitted. Years later he allegedly spoke about disposing of a body in a steel drum near the area where he had said the remains might be; he had rented welding equipment days before the disappearance.

The case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Cary, was present at the school that day, or has information about the vehicle or the ransom call, please come forward.
