SOLVED Arizona Cold Case Aiden King, 4 Missing Boy Found Alive After 53 Years (1957–2010)

The green kite was still flying when four-year-old Aiden King vanished from the town of Prescott, Arizona — population 8,212. July 18, 1957 arrived with desert heat and a wind that burned like fire across the southern dunes of Granite Dells. At 4:07 p.m., the Kings’ neighbor, Mary Jo Cooper, glanced out her kitchen window and saw the little boy running around the yard with his kite while his mother, Lorna, was inside taking a phone call. Aiden held the kite high, the string wrapped around his small hand, the wind stretching the green fabric until it snapped and fluttered.

Mrs. Cooper clearly remembered the boy’s yellow shirt standing out against the red earth and the blazing late-afternoon light. Minutes later, the string broke, the kite disappeared into the sky, and when Lorna stepped back outside, there was only silence — no laughter, no footprints. What happened in the next sixty minutes would haunt Prescott for the next half-century.
