Maurice Lorenzo Miles was an eleven-month-old infant last seen in Baltimore on September 8, 1987. Born October 3, 1986, he had been hospitalized repeatedly as an infant with multiple fractures; Maryland’s Department of Social Services removed him to foster care in February 1987 after a reported broken femur and returned him to his mother, Jacqueline Louise Bouknight, in July 1987 with court-ordered monthly social worker visits.

After the September 8 welfare check, Bouknight repeatedly avoided contact with social services, sometimes saying Maurice was staying with relatives or friends and refusing to let workers see him. He was not reported missing to police until April 12, 1988. When Bouknight failed to produce the child after a court order, she gave inconsistent accounts, refused to identify his whereabouts, and was held in civil contempt; the dispute reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1990. Bouknight served about seven and a half years and was released in November 1995, saying Maurice was alive and that she would look for him. Maurice has never been found and foul play is suspected.

Are there readers who remember seeing Maurice or recall anyone taking an infant from North Washington Street in Baltimore in late 1987?
