Description

Jack was only 9 years old when he was last seen near the Aspen Glen Picnic grounds in the city of Big Bear Lake. His mother last saw him that afternoon heading for a nearby park. Another 9-year-old boy told investigators that he saw the boy walking from a picnic area toward the Phillips home about 5:30 p. m. that day. There has been no trace of the boy since. Jack had never run away from home. A 20-square-mile area around the boy's home was scoured by searchers on foot, on horseback and from the air in the days after he disappeared, with no evidence of him. Foul play is suspected. Jack was described as 4'0", 72 lbs with brown hair and brown eyes. He has freckles and a scar on his left cheek. Jack was last seen wearing a black tank top, gray shorts, white socks and white tennis shoes. His nickname is JD.
