[h=3]Details of Disappearance[/h] Corey was last seen at the Ten-To-Ten grocery store in the 3200 block of Jefferson Highway in Jefferson, Louisiana at 12:30 p.m. on December 16, 1984. He and another boy were playing a video game and the boy turned his back, and when he turned around, Corey was gone. He has never been heard from again.
Corey lived in the 500 block of Causeway Boulevard at the time of his disappearance. He may have fallen into the Mississippi River, but his body was never recovered; it is unclear what happened to him.

And between 500 causeway and Jefferson hwy would not be easy to walk to. Especially for a young child! Move to street view on Google and you will see

Very little info here. Either he was abducted or he wandered away and fell into the river. Just wonder what could have possibly been more fun the playing videogames back in 1984 for a young kid? I wish there some more witnesses.

NamUs says last seen near the river. Pity the exact location is unclear.
Last seen walking to the store, last seen by another child playing in the store, last seen by the river?
Maybe he was thought to have made it to the store and later a child matching his description was seen near the river?
(Speculation.)
