It’s been three years since Jaliek Rainwalker disappeared from his home in Greenwich, NY and today a search for the 12-year-old will resume.  Divers will descend on an area of the Battenkill River in Middle Falls that they had not previously been able to search.  This is the first the time this portion of the body of water has been deemed safe, and it is possibly an area Jaliek’s father mentioned when he was working with authorities.

The last 34 months have been a roller coaster ride for investigators as they have conducted numerous searches, followed hundreds of leads and have tried to work with Jaliek’s adopted parents.  Reportedly, police say his mother and father are no longer cooperating with the investigation, Jaliek has not been seen, and they fear the worst.  Barbara Reeley, Jaliek’s adopted grandmother, has not given up hope.  She is well known by the community and is doing everything she can to help investigators find her grandson.  Reeley was even charged with burglary when she allegedly broke into her daughter’s home to look for evidence in this case.  Police say she uncovered the yellow pullover fleece Jaliek was last seen wearing, but still no one has been charged with any crimes in this case.In March 2010, investigators released a new age enhanced photo of what Jaliek would look like today, hoping the image and the attention would jog the memories of those who may have information.
