    Oct 25 2022
    On the night of Nov. 1, 2007, Jaliek Rainwalker and his adoptive father ate dinner at a Red Robin in upstate New York. The next day, the 12-year-old boy was reported missing. 15 years later, no trace of Jaliek has been discovered, and no one has faced charges related to his disappearance. In this true crime podcast, Times Union journalists examine Jaliek's short — but difficult  — life, investigate what is known about the night he disappeared from the small rural village of Greenwich, New York, and join those who are continuing the effort to find the lost boy.  Learn more about your ad choices.
