Leigh Frances Savoie was 10 years old when he vanished from Revere, Massachusetts on April 7, 1974. He was last seen in the Beachmont Square area near the Suffolk Downs racetrack, where he shined shoes to earn money. That morning he left home about 11:00 a.m. with his shoeshine kit, stopped at a local diner for a sandwich and milk, and left the kit at the diner saying he would return. He never did.

Leigh’s mother attempted to file a missing persons report at 3:00 p.m., but was told to wait; by 4:00 p.m. the diner owner returned the shoeshine kit to her, and there was still no sign of the boy. Investigators at one point looked at the racetrack and considered potential links to other offenders, including Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, but no definitive connection has been established. The case remains unsolved and authorities continue to seek information.

If anyone knew Leigh, saw him that day, or has information about Beachmont Square in April 1974, please come forward.
