15 Years Later, NYPD Revives Search for Missing Brooklyn Boy with Age-Progressed ImageSource: X/NYPD Missing Persons

The search for Patrick Alford, who went missing at the age of seven, has reached another somber milestone, marking 15 years since his disappearance. According to a post by the NYPD Missing Persons on X, Alford vanished without a trace around 9:00 p.m. on January 22, 2010, near the intersection of Vandalia Avenue and Ardsley Loop in Brooklyn.

In an effort to rekindle public attention and perhaps memory, the NYPD has shared an age-progressed image alongside a photo were taken closer to the time of his disappearance.

Bearing a distinctive scar over his left eyebrow, a silent reminder of his yet-unfinished story, the images circulate in the hopes they might prod conscience or coincidence into yielding clues. "Photo and an age progression image (See MP Flyer) Any info please call 1-800-577-Tips," reads the appeal from the NYPD.
