On the morning of May 15th, 2001, Ruby Harvard reported her two-year-old son, Wesley Dale Morgan, missing.

According to her account, Wesley had been playing outside on the front porch

while she went inside to prepare some food.

When she returned just five minutes later, Wesley was gone.

Authorities immediately launched a widespread search,

initially believing Wesley might have wandered into the woods.

However, as days pass without any sign of the toddler, authorities began to theorize that

he had been sold in an illegal adoption, kidnapped, or even murdered. Despite a thorough investigation, no trace of Wesley has ever been discovered.

It's been more than 22 years since Wesley went missing

and investigators are still searching for him. I'm going to be. Hey everyone welcome back to Detective Perspective. My name is Derek Lovasser.

I'm a former police detective and licensed private investigator and each week I'll

be covering an unsolved case in story format.

I'll then give you my perspective on the investigation

and provide contact information for the individuals or organizations

connected to the case so that if you have any tips

you can contact them directly and maybe you can help

solve the case.

And if you're someone who's interested in true crime specifically unsolved cases, which is what
