- Details of Disappearance:
- On September 1, 1975, 3-year-old Kurt disappeared while riding his tricycle at a campground in Maine, near the Canadian border. He was with his family and friends. His tricycle was found nearby, but Kurt was gone.
Kurt was a shy child who didn’t wander off. A huge search, one of the biggest in Maine history, used dogs and helicopters, but found nothing. Because it got very cold that night, police thought he might have gotten lost and couldn’t survive the weather. His parents believed he was kidnapped and taken to Canada. They put up posters there and across the US, but no one ever found him. To this day, Kurt’s disappearance is a mystery.
