27: MISSING: Wesley Dale Morgan Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

On the morning of May 15th, 2001, Ruby Havard reported her two-year-old son, Wesley Dale Morgan, missing. According to her account, Wesley had been playing outside on the front porch while she went inside to prepare some food. When she returned just five minutes later, Wesley was gone. Authorities immediately launched a widespread search, initially believing Wesley might have wandered into the woods. However, as days passed without any sign of the toddler, authorities began to theorize that he had been sold in an illegal adoption, kidnapped or even murdered. Despite a thorough investigation, no trace of Wesley has ever been discovered. It's been more than 22 years since Wesley went missing, and investigators are still searching for him.
Two-year-old Wesley Dale Morgan was last seen on May 15th, 2001, in the 2700 block of Highway 63 outside of Clinton, Louisiana.
At the time, he was three feet tall, 40 pounds with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing blue shorts with a green stripe on the leg, a gray Mickey Mouse shirt and sandals. If you have any information, please call CrimeStoppers at 225-344-7867.
