When Jaliek Rainwalker Went Missing

Jaliek Rainwalker disappeared in November of 2007 under suspicious circumstances. The case went from a missing child case to a probable homicide about ten years ago. Jaliek's adoptive father, Stephen Kerr had been a person of interest. He was the last one to have seen Jaliek in his home in Greenwich. Police retraced that night with Kerr. He told them he picked Jaliek up from a respite foster home in Albany County and the two stopped at Red Robin in Latham to eat before heading to Greenwich. Nothing was found during massive searches on the route they took.
