Three-year-old Reuben Blackwell II was reported missing from Clinton, Maryland, on May 6, 1996. He was last seen playing outside his home; when family discovered he was gone they immediately notified police and searches began that day. Volunteers, family and law enforcement combed nearby parks, woods and streets while officers interviewed family, friends and neighbors to try to piece together his last movements.

The case drew media attention; flyers were distributed and the public was asked to help. Despite organized searches and follow-up of various leads over the years, Reuben was never found and the disappearance remains unsolved. Very little else about what happened that day is publicly described.

Did anyone in the Clinton area at the time remember seeing a small boy playing outside on May 6, 1996, or have information that could help clarify his last known movements?
