On the night of Thursday February 15, 2001, 12 year old Steven Kraft left his house between 7-8 pm when it was dark and took his dogs for a walk. He never returned. The interesting thing is the dogs did return. One came back to the house. The other, a puppy, was supposedly found wandering near Red Arrow Highway along Blue Creek.
The strange thing about this case to me is the dogs. When Steven did not return, search parties were sent out. The one thing I would like to know is all the dog sightings. He supposedly walked toward the dead end of his street, Holly Street. Then he may have crossed a pond to where his footprints took him to a church off Irving Street.
If he were abducted, what happened to the dogs? It was a residential neighborhood so how many neighbors, kids going to school the next day, etc saw the dogs before they were located? I guess we do not know.
But if the answer is no one, and based on where the puppy was found wandering to the north, I would think either he had some accident out in the woods or he may have wandered into someone's backyard, especially along the northernmost street of the neighborhood, Vista Lake Drive. Where did the dogs go when Steven Kraft went missing? That would be my main question in this case.
