Louis came home from school and told his babysitter that he was going to walk two doors from his family's residence in the 300 block of Chew Street to play with friends during the afternoon of June 7, 1984 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The owner of Marco's Doggie Shop, a local hot dog stand, stated that Louis came in at 4:00 p.m. and told the shop owner that he was in the store to avoid some teenage boys who were chasing him. He left at 4:45 p.m. and walked east on Gordon Street that afternoon. The two boys who were chasing Louis that day were later interviewed by law enforcement and are not thought to have been involved in his disappearance. Earlier that year, Louis had reported being assaulted by a couple named Frank and Elizabeth, The Allentown police were notified but they could not find enough evidence to warrant an investigation, as Louis could not provide any last names or addresses in his accounts. His case remains unsolved.
