A family of four is camping with their friends at a remote campground in Maine near the Canadian border. On a Sunday morning after a hearty camping breakfast next to the fire, the moms went to the boathouse to wash dirty shoes, the Dads went to get more firewood and the kids played. Amongst them was four-year-old Kurt, who was riding his Big Wheel Tricycle. In about a ten-minute window of time, Kurt went missing. What was known as the most exhaustive search in the history of Maine was conducted, but outside of the abandoned Big Wheel, nothing has ever been found. Did Kurt wander into the dense woods and become disoriented, eventually succumbing to the elements? Or did somebody take him that day?
