- Marc Bookal MISSING
This is a case that is close to the heart, and one I have brought you since day one. Marc Bookal was reported missing by his mother’s boyfriend, Cory Byrd on December 14, 2009. Marc’s family has gone through the freezing weather and the holidays without their child. He hasn’t been seen since Byrd told police that he found the downstairs door open, and Marc was missing. Today, police told me they called off the ground search to locate Marc, but the investigation to find out what happened to him is still on going.
Early on in the search, Sgt. Toomey with the Newburg police told me over the phone that Byrd thought Marc walked a few steps away in an adjacent building to visit his aunt, something he did frequently. The toddler has discoloration on the back of his hands from a recent burn injury, and he was last seen wearing a red long sleeved shirt, gray sweatpants, and Nike shoes. Anoymous tipsters have come forward to offer money to the fund to find this toddler including Carlie’s Crusade Foundation.
