Silence in the Schoolyard: Who Took Alexis Patterson

from Gone in a Blink

On a spring morning in 2002, seven-year-old Alexis Patterson walked toward Hi-Mount Elementary School, accompanied by her stepfather to the corner, just steps away from the entrance. She was seen by a crossing guard and classmates on the playground, yet she never made it to her first-grade classroom. When the final bell rang, Alexis was nowhere to be found. We retrace her final know steps, the delayed notification that gave a kidnapper an eight-hour head start, and the two decades of tips that have led to a haunting silence.
