A Family Shattered: Mom of Missing Kevin Collins, 10, Still Thinks of Him Decades After He Vanished

If the poi's partner has even a shred of decency or compassion, he should at least try and help the family, wondering which Canadian city he is from..
speculation, imo.
"Jackson died in 2008, but since 2013, authorities have been trying to offer Jackson’s partner — who lives in Canada — immunity to tell them what he knows. Nothing has come of that in the past six years."

 

[Lavender Moon]

Yes, the poi's partner has nothing to lose by telling what happened. No compassion. No soul. No nothing.

Bumping up Kevin's case.

Snip:
...
Kevin Collins was a shy fourth grader. The sweet, gap-toothed boy was quieter than his eight brothers and sisters, but a happy kid. His older brother Gary was at home sick on a cold evening in February 1984 and couldn't accompany Kevin to basketball practice at the Saint Agnes School gym on Page Street. So after practice, Kevin waited alone for the 43 bus on Oak and Masonic to take him to the family home on Sutter Street.

A blonde-haired man with a black dog was seen talking to Kevin that evening at the bus stop. Kevin would never make it home.

Posters of Kevin covered San Francisco. The local news, and soon national news, picked up on the story, as the '80s wave of high-profile child abductions made parents across America think twice about letting their children out alone. Kevin became one of the first missing children to appear on milk cartons and billboards. His young face, glancing over his shoulder in black and white, made the cover of Newsweek, under the ominous headline: “Stolen Children: What Can Be Done About Child Abduction?”
...
These Bay Area residents vanished and have never been found

Thinking of Kevin today.

Does anyone think it could be David Emery Misch? He abducted and killed Michaela Garetcht and a killed two other woman.

From the Charley Project
Kevin was witnessed talking at the bus stop to a blond man about six feet tall, in his twenties or thirties. The man was accompanied by a large black dog, possibly a Great Dane or similar breed. He has never been heard from again.

David Misch fits the blond hair and six feet tall and could’ve had a dog that we aren’t aware of.

This latest discovery brings Toomey back to that cold case. He said, "The only case that I know of, of a child that is unsolved and the child's body has not been found is Kevin Collins in San Francisco. So when something like this happens... I mean, you have to think that way."

Retired SF homicide inspector hopes child's bones solves cold case

 

[Satch]

Based on what Charley project has, I suspect that DLT very likely killed Kevin.

Some of the bones found in San Francisco are human, police say

San Francisco police said on Wednesday human bones found in planters outside a home in November belonged to two individuals: a child, possibly as young as eight, and another person.

''One remaining option to establish the origin of the remains is DNA analysis.

'They'll be uploaded to the database and then they'll try to match it,' Discenza said.

'[We will] see if there are any missing persons, homicides, or anything like that to see if there's a match.'

A retired cold case homicide detective told ABC7 there is a possibility the bones could have belonged to Kevin Collins, a 10-year-old boy that went missing in 1984.

'The only case that I know of of a child that is unsolved, and the child's body has not been found, is Kevin Collins,' retired San Francisco detective Joe Toomey said.''

Thank you, dotr. Praying for the break.

 

[spartanx]

Poor boy, maybe where are his remains. Are there people so bad to do this? What a terrible thing, everything that always happens. I hope one day it will be resolved.
rest in peace
