One-year-old Jarkeius Adside was taken during a home invasion in Miami on October 18, 2001, while his parents were incarcerated and he was in the care of a babysitter, Gwendolyn Brown. Brown reported that three unknown men entered the house in the early morning, bound her and her boyfriend with duct tape, and searched for money. After a gunshot was heard, Jarkeius and several household items were missing. Bloodstains at the scene were later confirmed to belong to the child, creating concern that he may have been seriously injured.

Composite sketches were developed and authorities issued age-progressed photos as the investigation continued, but no significant leads have emerged. Brown and her boyfriend were later arrested on unrelated drug charges, and questions were raised about delays in reporting the abduction. Jarkeius’ mother says she believes someone took him and is caring for him. The Miami-Dade Police Department asks anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in Miami in October 2001 see activity or people matching the sketches around that neighborhood that could help resolve what happened to Jarkeius?
