SOLVED: Georgia Cold Case | Ethan Baker, 2 | Missing Boy Found Alive After 52 Years (1968–2012)

The red ball was still rolling on the grass when two-year-old Ethan Baker vanished in the town of Gainesville, Georgia — population 12,403. July 17, 1968 arrived with stifling heat and the smell of warm pine sap rising from the parking lot next to Riverside Park. At 11:40 a.m., the Bakers’ neighbor, Mrs. Nellie Cooper, saw Emily lead her son away from the bench; the little boy was clutching his stuffed bear and running toward the fence where a beige GMC pickup was parked.

Ethan turned back and gave his mother one last smile, then disappeared behind the truck. When Emily reached the spot moments later, all that remained was the red ball rolling near the path and the stuffed bear abandoned on the wooden bench. What happened in the next twelve minutes would haunt Gainesville for more than half a century.
