Finding the Missing Jaliek Rainwalker
A private investigator has volunteered to look for Jaliek Rainwater, as 12-year-old black boy who is rumored to have run away from home. Jaliek is adopted by the Kerr family but story has it that Jaliek has attitude problems that his adoptive parents can’t handle. There were many instances involving Jaliek in school and in the community and the last one of it was about his threats a 4-year-old girl in school.
That was supposed to be the final leg of all of Jaliek’s troubles because apparently, he had disappeared after that incident. Jaliek’s foster parents still believe that the boy was still alive and is only missing after he had runaway. But the police and now even the private investigators are joining the search party for him because they think that something more than a case of a runaway child is going on in this case.
Stephen Kerr, Jaliek’s adoptive father, had said that they were reconsidering the adoption but swears that Jaliek didn’t know anything about it. They said that he must have found out somehow so he chose to run away instead.
This case had triggered so many thoughts and reactions to a lot of people. And most of them would like to know about how the case progresses. The private investigator that offered his services for free to look for Jaliek is Jamie Richardson and his partner. However, they don’t want to show their faces on TV so that they can continue to work anonymously as possible.
Richardson owns a private investigation firm called the ‘Mission Possible Investigation’. They are looking over Jaliek’s case for free and had even setup a hotline for people who might have good leads about the case.
Mission Possible Investigation has been in operation for more than 10 years now and their specialty is with cases related to child abuse and missing persons. While they admit that they normally charge a fee for their services, they are waiving that in Jaliek’s case, as it has more societal feeling and concern than any other case they have handled.
Richardson has worked with the state’s law enforcement agencies as well other private investigative firms. He knew the ropes and is confident that Jaliek would be found soon, provided that nothing sinister had happened to him at all.
The latest development about this case is the unsigned postmarked letter that the New York police had received. It says that Jaliek is indeed, still alive. Both the police and the private investigators working on the case believe that the boy’s adoptive father plays a big role in the child’s disappearance.
