In late May 1984, a little boy went missing on the Yakama Reservation.
Roland Jack Spencer III was 3 years old on May 25, the last day he was seen in the area of Knight Lane and Campbell Road in Wapato. Known as Jack, the Native boy with a scar on his abdomen wore a long-sleeved red T-shirt with white stripes on the sleeves, brown corduroy pants and tan boots when he disappeared, according to information on The Charley Project.
Jack, who was mentally disabled and suffering from epilepsy and hearing loss when last seen, would be 39 today. He has been declared legally dead, according to The Charley Project — he was presumed dead on Nov. 6, 2000, another website says — but his case remains unsolved.
