Details of Disappearance

Kenneth was last seen near his residence in the 1600 block of Lansing Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland on April 9, 1947 at 10:00 a.m. He asked for a piece of ice from his mother, then went outside to play. His family realized he was missing about forty-five minutes later.

That afternoon, Kenneth may have been sighted by a streetcar operator at the corner of Dundalk and Eastern Avenues. There were several possible sightings of him in the area shortly after his disappearance, but none were confirmed and Kenneth has never been heard from again.

Kenneth disappeared once before, about two years earlier, and was found by police in downtown Baltimore. He had burn marks on his arm and said a "bad boy" had done it to him.

Before moving to their Lansing Avenue residence in February 1947, the Hager family lived in the 2100 block of east Chase Street. Kenneth knew how to get there and had once wandered away and gone back to his old neighborhood. He likes to ride in cars but his family stated he would not get into one unless he was asked.

A distant relative of the Hager family thought she saw Kenneth at a Dundalk, Maryland grocery store in 1962. This sighting was not confirmed and the man at the store has never been identified. Kenneth's case remains unsolved.
