On a September evening in 1964 in Fayetteville, North Carolina, 11-year-old Terry Lee Westerfield and his younger brother Alan disappeared after their stepfather, Army sergeant Carl Bock, said he dropped them at the Broadway Theater on Hay Street to see a movie. Terry, a Boy Scout with red hair and freckles, was reported wearing short jeans and a striped shirt; he had a scar from an appendectomy and was missing a permanent lower front tooth. Theater employees gave conflicting accounts about whether the boys were seen there that night.

Their mother reported them missing early the following morning. Heavy rains from Hurricane Dora hampered initial search efforts. The stepfather told investigators he waited outside the theater and never went in when the boys did not emerge; he had also sent the babysitter home early that day, contrary to the original plan. Over the years he remained the primary person of interest, and investigators later concluded the boys were likely killed soon after they were last seen, but no charges were filed.

The boys father, Thomas Mel Westerfield, searched for them for years before his death by suicide in 1978; their mother, Margie, died in 2003. The stepfather refused a 2012 offer of immunity for information and died in 2016. The case remains open and unsolved.

If anyone knew Terry or Alan, or has information about that September evening, please share what is known.
