Anthony was last seen walking to school on the morning of May 8, 1983 in Lemmon Valley, Nevada. He was a fifth grade student at Lemmon Valley Elementary School, he lived with his mother and stepfather a half-mile from the school. Although Anthonyβs normal route to school was to walk north of Fremont Street, he went in the opposite direction. A witness saw him in a cul-de-sac on the south end of Fremont Street, talking to an unknown individual driving a rusted out vehicle, possibly a Ford Pinto or a Camaro. He never arrived at school and has never been heard from again. A month before his disappearance, he ran away after his mother disciplined him for poor grades but he returned home within hours. When Anthony vanished in May 1983 the police initially assumed heβd run away a second time, and didnβt start to investigate other theories until several days had passed. Both his mother and stepfather took polygraph tests and were ruled out as suspects. Investigators believe he was abducted while walking to school. No strong suspects have ever been identified in his disappearance.
