On May 19, 2004, one day after his eighth birthday, Jake Greenwood from Wichita, Kansas, went missing.

Weeks prior to the event, his parents reported that he and his sister had been doing numerous drawings, all featuring the same mysterious man. They have released the drawings below to the public in the hope that other parents might recognize the same man in their children's drawings and come forth.

The day of Jake's birthday party, his parents also took the below photo, once again releasing it to the public. It wasn't until after Jake disappeared that they noticed something strange in the photograph.

Three days after Jake's disappearance, this article was published in the local paper.
