Anthony Tullius was two years old when he disappeared from a campsite near Ellis Dam in Muskingum County, Ohio, during the early summer of 2011. On the morning of June 4, 2011, his parents awoke to find the tent unzipped and both Anthony and his three-year-old brother Ayden gone. Ayden’s body was recovered from the Muskingum River about a mile downstream a few hours later; Anthony was not found despite searches that included cadaver dogs, divers, and rescue boats.

Authorities focused on the children’s mother, Kasey Klein, and stepfather, Richard Klein Jr., alleging the parents had been reckless by camping very close to the swollen river and had not taken precautions to keep the boys from wandering. Both were charged in September 2011; initial convictions in early 2012 were later overturned. By June 2013 Richard Klein was acquitted and Kasey Klein pleaded guilty to child endangering and received a reduced sentence. The Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office lists the investigation as open and Anthony’s remains have never been recovered, leaving his fate unconfirmed.

Did anyone who camped near Ellis Dam in early June 2011 see the boys or notice anything unusual that morning?
