Jermaine Barr was five years old when he was last seen in Manhattan on September 25, 1986. That afternoon he was wearing a black windbreaker jacket, black corduroy pants, and white high-top sneakers. He was described as four feet six inches tall, about 45 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Jermaine left his home with a man described only as a friend of his mother; the destination and what happened during that outing remain unclear. The disappearance was not reported until December 10, 2004, and the New York City Police Department’s Missing Persons Squad lists the case as open. Few concrete details have ever been released about the family friend or any investigative steps taken in 1986.

Does anyone who lived in Manhattan in 1986 or knew the Barr family recall seeing Jermaine that day or have information about the friend he left with?
