Nathan David Schlatter was a one-year-old boy with red hair who vanished from Tulsa, Oklahoma, believed to have disappeared in February 1985. At the time he lived with his parents, Terri Lea Schlatter and Darrell Schlatter, both of whom were facing federal bank fraud charges. In January 1985 Terri briefly took Nathan to her mother and stepfather in Springville, Indiana to try to create a more stable situation, then returned to Tulsa.

Later that month Terri left Nathan at a babysitter’s; Darrell arrived and told the babysitter her services were no longer needed. That was the last confirmed sighting of Nathan. Terri also disappeared around the same time and was not heard from again; because of her outstanding fraud charges she was initially treated as a fugitive. Both have remained missing and neither Social Security number has been used since.

Investigators reopened the case after Darrell was charged in April 1993 with the murder of a girlfriend; a local pond was drained but produced no evidence. Darrell died by suicide in jail in June 1993. Foul play is strongly suspected in the disappearances. Does anyone have memories of Tulsa in early 1985 or information about the Schlatter family that could help locate Nathan or Terri?
