On the morning of December 17, 1962, William and his sister, Jill Jones, went out to play.
Some websites claim that his mother had been watching from a window and that she no sooner returned to it from checking on another child than discovered that William was gone.
[4] A manhunt was initiated an hour after William disappeared but no remains have ever been located.
In 2009, the case was reopened by a Vineland police detective by the name of Kristian Kirchner.
The case has been covered by Fox News[1] and The Philadelphia Inquirer.
