In early February 1977 eight-year-old Arthur Gerald Noske vanished from Brecksville, Ohio. He was reported missing on February 8 after his mother, Ann Marie Noske, said Arthur had wandered away from her at the Parmatown Mall. He was described as red-headed and last seen in a blue nylon parka with red and white stripes, a blue turtleneck, and boots.

Ten days later Ann recanted the mall story and implicated her boyfriend, Dr. Stuart S. Kutler, saying he fatally beat Arthur. Ann said she and Kutler, with Kutler’s father William, tried to dispose of the child’s body in their fireplace; when that failed Kutler took the remains elsewhere. Ann received immunity in exchange for her testimony. Kutler was convicted and sentenced to six to twenty-five years; he died in prison of pneumonia in March 1978.

Arthur’s body has never been recovered, and he remains officially listed as a missing person. Does anyone have information about Arthur’s last known movements or the location where Kutler reportedly took the remains?
