[h=3]Details of Disappearance[/h] Alexander was last seen at his uncle's home in the 1300 block of east Brill in Phoenix, Arizona on July 29, 1960. He lived with his aunt in the 6400 block of west Cavalier at the time of his disappearance, and was an eighth-grader at St. Agnes School. He has never been heard from again.

Alexander's mother lived in San Francisco, California at the time of his disappearance, and his father lived in Glendale, Arizona. He also had relatives in Texas. Authorities thought he may have tried to go to either California or Texas after his disappearance; it's also possible he remained in the Phoenix area. Few details are available in his case.

Alexander's photo has been age-progressed to 69 years. He was last seen leaving his home in Phoenix, #Arizona on July 29, 1960. Alexander may still be in the Phoenix, Arizona area. He has a scar under his left eye and may go by his nickname, Alex.

The uncle's full name is John Richard Booth (b 21/12/1925 in Lincoln, Nebraska). He was a WW2 and Korean Air Force veteran who adopted his Korean son in 1959. The son became a naturalised American in 1962 (all this information is from the naturalisation record on Ancestry). He was born at Inchon, Korea on 25/9/1946. He was naturalised under the name John Richard Booth jr and his original name was Kwang See Keenan (or that was the name on his entry to the USA in 1956). He was living in Arizona in the 1990s. The uncle died in 1997.

I guess this makes the adopted son the probable last close link to this case.
