GARY, Ind. (WTHR) — May 11, 2020, would be King Walker’s 7th birthday. His family has not seen him though in 5 years.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the Gary Police Department in Indiana are seeking the public’s help to find this missing boy, as well as his aunt who has special needs.
The disappearance
It was July 25, 2015 and 2-year-old King Walker was at a family member's home in Gary.
Most of the family had decided to take a nap. When they awoke, King and his 21-year-old aunt, Diamond Bynum, were gone.
The family and police began searching, but could find no trace of the 2-year-old or his aunt.
“I just ask the public to look into their hearts,” said La Shann Walker, King Walker’s grandmother. “What if it was their child, daughter, grandson or family member? They would want to know the answers.”
At the time of his disappearance, King was 3’0 tall, 34 pounds, and had dreadlocks in his hair. He has black hair and brown eyes.
At the time of her disappearance, Diamond Bynum was 4’8" tall and 238 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes and walks with a limp. Diamond has a condition called Prader-Willi syndrome, which causes delayed mental capacity. She would now be 26 years old.
Search continues
On May 11, 2020 King would be turning seven.
His family has never stopped looking for him and with help from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, have put out a video asking for people to help bring King home.
