Real video footage of Jaliek Rainwalker himself in a musical at a Theater camp… a must see!

You see plenty of pictures of Jaliek Rainwalker, the child who is missing for 15 years… but you don’t see video footage of him. Finally, the group that I’m a part of “Justice For Jaliek Rainwalker” in FB got some video footage of Jaliek himself… sent to us by a user in the group who gave us permission to make them public.

This footage was first featured in “Rainwalker: The Lost Boy” podcast, now this footage is starting to get out everywhere.

Everybody just needs to see what a happy and good kid that he was, as you can see Jaliek looks like he’s having the time of his life and having a blast. I’ve seen more in different angles and they are all amazing and mind blowing, here are a few for now.

Enjoy. We aren’t going away and I’m never gonna give up on Jaliek.

“Rainwalker: The Lost Boy” podcast… check it out… #JaliekRainwalker….

I know I haven’t posted on here in ages but I thought I would come here to give this podcast a little plug. The Times Union started doing a podcast series about the Jaliek Rainwalker disappearance titled “Rainwalker: The Lost Boy”. This podcast gave my blogging a little plug so I’m giving them a little plug in return.

There will be 7 episodes of this podcast but so far there are only two episodes out. I listened to both of them and it’s a very well done podcast so far.

15 years of missing Jaliek and this podcast will be a helpful reminder that we aren’t going away. We all want “Justice For Jaliek” even I do.

You can listen to the podcast here and it’s also available to listen to wherever you listen to podcasts: Spotify, Apple, etc.

Enjoy it, y’all!

So the State Police is finally on the move in search of Jaliek Rainwalker… yes, FINALLY!!!

After years of silence from the local news media and silence from law enforcement… there is finally some new developments in the “Jaliek Rainwalker” case.

A tip got called in at the New York State Police, the police won’t say who the person who sent in the tip was and they won’t say what the tip is but it is good enough to prompt a search at a baseball field in South Troy. State Police were they all day this week.

Of course, they found nothing but I’m so happy and glad that there is finally some action.

https://wnyt.com/uncategorized/new-leads-in-2007-disappearance-of-jaliek-rainwalker/

This latest update on Jaliek Rainwalker blew up all over the local news. It was on every local news outlet if you want to search yourself.

Yeah, we all know Stephen Kerr is guilty and probably killed him. The best part is that even the State Police is totally focused on Kerr ’cause even they say that everything points to him.

This is a pretty good reminder, though that this Jaliek Rainwalker case isn’t going away until Jaliek is found and all those responsible are locked up. I think Stephen Kerr acted alone on the murder of Jaliek and other people are covering up for him.

While I’m glad the search is back on, I still have a hunch that Jaliek was concealed at 11 Hill St. home, probably hidden in the walls of the basement or under concrete like some try to tell us.

I’ve been following this case since it happened in 2007 and I’m still on it. Still following today, I’ve never given up on Jaliek myself and never will.

This kid deserves justice, ya know? 14 and a half years is too long. Time to finally get something going and it’s finally happening.

Many are unhappy with the police’s work on this case but I totally believe in them and fully support them. I think they will do a good job and they will nail Stephen and Jocelyn at some point.

Jaliek Rainwalker had his very first vendor at Whipple City Festival in Greenwich this year…

For this year’s Whipple City Fest in Greenwich, N.Y. we did a vendor for the missing “Jaliek Rainwalker”. The case is still in open investigation even to this day. No he hasn’t been found yet but we’re hoping that there will finally be a resolve soon.

We did a thing in town over the weekend for Jaliek to help bring awareness peacefully and advocate for missing Jaliek which the case is still in active investigation for almost 15 years now.

If you want to learn more about the case, hit google and there’s plenty of blogs and podcasts about it too. It’s disturbing, sad and scary all the same time.

While the Kerr family has given up and moved on with their lives, we have never given up on Jaliek. We won’t stop shouting his name and won’t stop advocating for him until it’s all over. Jaliek still needs to be found and put it in his proper resting place and those responsible needs to be locked up.

Everybody knows that Stephen Kerr the adoptive dad probably killed him and I believe that as well but we’re doing everything we can to find hard proof. We need the evidence and that’s the goal in order to lock him up finally and hopefully one day. The sooner the better, though.

We’re working very closely with law enforcement… we’re in contact with the NYSP, the local police, in contact with the College of St. Rose “Cold Case Center” and all that stuff. This case is a pretty big deal. We’re working very hard and we won’t stop. Case is still being investigated very low key and behind the scenes. Can’t talk about the details and info for now.

We’re trying everything we can. We know the adoptive parents did it and don’t get me started on “innocent until proven” guilty crap. There’s not a shred of evidence of their innocence either as they’ve been asked a number of times to prove their innocence but they still haven’t.

I care about this case ’cause it happened in my hometown for the most part and I’m just a regular guy wanting answers like everyone else.

We’re not stopping no matter what anyone says or thinks or how mad people get.

Yeah, advocating for missing persons and children can be tough, difficult and admittedly “overwhelming” ’cause you gotta deal with a somewhat corrupt investigation… gotta deal with all kinds of untrustworthy people and you’re gonna meet some weirdos too. Of course, when all you want to do is advocate and show support, you’ll have to deal with some acting like you’re “trouble makers” instead which is frustrating but we’re not stopping.

Jaliek deserves his justice, ya know? Those responsible needs to be locked up ’cause I’m feeling that more than one person was involved. I feel Stephen Kerr didn’t do this alone, others were definitely involved for sure and someone/some people definitely knows everything. We all hate Stephen Kerr and we all want that monster off the streets. It’s tough but trying everything we can.

It may seem like a difficult case but it is solvable and winnable. Again, we’re not stopping until it’s all over.

Jaliek Rainwalker missing child case gets national attention after A&E’s “Vanished” gets released on FB Watch exclusively…

For 12 years, the Jaliek Rainwalker missing child’s case got some local attention but most of the local news media has been quiet about Jaliek for a long while. Now the case has finally gone national and mainstream thanks to the A&E channel who is doing a series about missing people titled “Vanished” which you can exclusively watch on FB.

I really like how the case has blown up online and now the case has finally caught the attention of national crime shows. A&E is a cable TV network that does a lot of Facebook Watch stuff too. I’m sure this episode will be aired on cable TV as well.

I think the case has now gone somewhat viral almost which is good. The bigger Jaliek’s voice gets, the more pressure it gets put on Stephen and Jocelyn as they are seen and talked about in this video above.

I think most of us came to an agreement that Stephen & Jocelyn both had something to do with Jaliek’s disappearance. I’m not changing my view on that. No proof but watch the video above… everything leads back to them so you can’t help but think they did it.

If they were really “passionate” about finding their son then why would they move to Vermont, lawyer up and not cooperate with police? If they were innocent then they would do everything they can to get the police off their backs by actually cooperating with them. They don’t ask for the public’s help and they don’t talk to anyone looking for Jaliek. They have nothing to hide? They can move on and keep on smiling all they want to but Jaliek will be found and the truth will come out on its own.

Jaliek’s voice is getting huge which is good and it’s what we want… hoping this will help get someone to come forward with additional information.

Some people may look at me as if I’m some sort of hero in all this but how? I’m just a normal person wanting answers like most people. I want Justice for Jaliek like most. I’m not into this for attention, recognition or hero status of any kind. I just want answers and closure like most. I want Jaliek brought home and in his proper burial place where he belongs ’cause this family just threw him away and they continued to act like he never existed after that.

Someday Jaliek will be found and there will be justice. Someday it will be all over but the sooner the better, though. Stephen & Jocelyn think they got away with it but they will get caught somehow. Hopefully 2020 will be the year… we just have to wait I guess.

Jaliek Rainwalker candle light vigil from last night, small crowd turnout but still a successful and positive night!

So I went to the Jaliek Rainwalker candlelight vigil last night at Mowry Park in Greenwich as you can see in the pics above. Even though this vigil got some local news attention and a lot of internet buzz, it only turned out to be a small crowd turnout. Some people did come, though.

A few local news media outlets came to film a report about the vigil and interview members of Jalieks Army there. I tried to stay out of media spotlight; although, you’ll see me on TV a little bit. I’m not camera shy at all is just that I don’t do media interviews too well. I’m afraid I might mess up speaking on camera and afraid that I’ll be stuck on what to say next, that kind of stuff. So I let others do the talking to the media.

Above are pics of me at the event and the links below are a few reports with video:

Greenwich community holds vigil for boy missing since 2007

There were mixed emotions at the vigil last night from sad and positive. Even though there was a small crowd turnout, it was still a successful night. No one came to disrupt and give us a bunch of drama and bullshit so it was all good.

Stephen Kerr and Jocelyn didn’t show predictably even though they probably knew about this event (I bet they did). I knew they wouldn’t show ’cause they’re trying to do everything they can to forget Jaliek… but even if they did show up, we would have welcomed them there anyways only if they were there peacefully and not there to give us drama. Since Kerr and McDonald didn’t show, that’s good enough proof that they don’t care about Jaliek at all so there you go.

It was a good night, though. I’m glad I went. Nice to get out of the house and meet new people for a change. I’m glad to finally start meeting other Jaliek supporters in person.

I just had to go myself ’cause I supported Jaliek for over a decade and he never left my mind ever since he went missing in 2007.

Low crowd turnout but that’s fine. We were there to honor Jaliek and pay our respects for him. Let him know that we’re listening and we still care for him. It was a good experience. There will be more events like this so hopefully we get bigger and better crowds in the future.

I’m proud to be one of Jaliek’s biggest supporters. I vow to help get the truth of Jaliek’s disappearance and am willing to help find him myself with the help of other people known as Jaliek’s Army which is a group I’m a part of. No one’s gonna silence us and no one is gonna stop us. There will be people with opposite views of Jaliek being murdered by his own adoptive parents coming after us but screw them. We’re not going to stop just to appease them. If you’re one of those who defends Kerr & McDonald then you’re a non-Jaliek believer, period.

Jaliek needs his justice and those responsible for his disappearance/murder will be caught. We won’t rest until Jaliek is found… I don’t care what the other side thinks.

Jaliek Rainwalker candlelight vigil happening in my hometown of Greenwich tomorrow evening…

76751594_10221382351493866_6363858256573497344_n

Tomorrow evening in my hometown of Greenwich there will be a Jaliek Rainwalker candlelight vigil in remembrance of the missing child who has been gone for 12 years. It will be taken place at the Gazebo in Mowry Park on Main St and it will take place after the lighted tractor parade in Greenwich.

Keep in mind, though that this candlelight vigil wasn’t my idea… a young woman in FB came up with this idea and a Jaliek FB group called “Jaliek’s Army” which is a FB group for Jaliek supporters only helped setup the candlelight vigil in Greenwich.

I know the adoptive parents of Jaliek (Stephen & Jocelyn) are not gonna be happy with this candlelight vigil and they are probably fuming over this but this candlelight vigil is NOT an attack at them. This candlelight vigil is all about remembering Jaliek. We just want to keep his name alive and that is all. That’s the goal with this vigil so that Greenwich can be reminded of his name and never forget him ever. We just want to let Jaliek know we care about him and we are listening to him.

Hopefully there will be a good turnout for this vigil and I think a good crowd will show up. I’m definitely gonna make it I think. I really should ’cause I’m one of Jaliek’s biggest supporters.

There are some people who are not interested in this missing child’s case about Jaliek and there are some who have lost interest but I will never lose interest or forget him. This kid has been on my mind ever since he disappeared in 2007. No matter how long ago it was, I’ll never forget him. This candlelight vigil event is happening whether people like it or not, it needs to happen and I’m glad it is.

If the adoptive parents want to show up so be it just as long as they’re not confrontational and all… this was meaning to be a peaceful thing.

The Jaliek Rainwalker missing child case is about to go national finally, the case will be featured for an A&E cable TV show called “Vanished In Paradise: The Untold Story”…

Over the past 12 years since Jaliek Rainwalker has been missing and the case still not being solved, this case has caught a lot of attention in the local news. It’s also gone viral in the podcast industry as there has been many podcasts and youtube videos about this case.

In the beginning, the local news media were all over this case but it seems the local news media stopped reporting about the case except for the Post-Star who seems to be on it still… thanks to writer Don Lehman who seems to be the only local journalist trying to keep the Jaliek story in the news.

Well, it looks like the case is about to finally go national. The case never got national media attention until now. The A&E true crime TV show titled, “Vanished in Paradise: The Untold Story” was in my hometown of Greenwich last week filming for the show. They will feature an episode on the Jaliek Rainwalker case. The episode will air on A&E Cable TV for the “Vanished In Paradise: The Untold Story” which is aired on Thursday nights. The episode will also be uploaded to Facebook on the A&E FB page.

A&E was in Greenwich last week filming for the show like I said and they interviewed quite a lot of people. Who did they interview for the show? I’m not sure yet but I’m sure they interviewed Barb Reeley who is Jaliek’s adopted grandmother who is the only one in the family trying to find out what happened to Jaliek. I’m also sure they interviewed the new Greenwich/Cambridge chief police and I’m not sure who else they interviewed.

https://poststar.com/blogs/don_lehman/blog-online-show-exploring-jaliek-case/article_dc5ee926-2ab0-53f9-ad98-c181d0e6285f.html?fbclid=IwAR1D-5NNBqYb9R48fsjKObK5qCwkW6IyAd-XvvFeKJdrNd0IJdwItMm5kp0#utm_campaign=blox&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

Some of you may ask, did A&E interview Jaliek’s adoptive parents Stephen & Jocelyn? I’m sure they wanted to interview them for the show but I’m pretty sure they didn’t go for it. In the beginning, the adoptive parents were cooperative with the local news media but they stopped after Stephen refused to take a polygraph test. The adoptive Mom & Dad did only one interview for the press… they did one interview for WNYT News Channel 13 and that was it. Since then, they refused to speak with the media ever again and they avoid talking with people looking for Jaliek like the plague so I don’t think Stephen & Jocelyn will be on this show. I can see their lawyer being interviewed on the show maybe but that’s about it.

Once this story goes national on A&E, Stephen & Jocelyn are in trouble… their days are numbered once this story goes viral nationally. They think they can kill a child and continue to live their lives as if it didn’t happen but we will get them in handcuffs somehow.

Once this episode gets on facebook, I’ll post it on the blog asap. I’ve been following this case ever since it happened and it never left my mind so I’m looking forward to watching this episode myself. Glad that national TV has finally picked up on this case, though. True crime TV shows on cable TV are pretty good at solving mysterious cases, they are no joke. I hope this episode haunts the adoptive parents once it gets on facebook… those murderers. We’ll get them somehow. They think they can get away with it and play this sick game of “catch us if you can” but we’ll get ’em. We’ll find Jaliek somehow ’cause that’s all we want.

If Jaliek Rainwalker is still alive like they say then they need to prove it… they can’t just say it…

73240675_10221184756034103_620882263311122432_n (1).jpg

This anonymous letter was sent to the local news media in 2008 after Jaliek Rainwalker disappeared from Greenwich in 2007. In this old article by Don Lehman, the adoptive parents and their lawyer were quick to defend it by claiming that this letter has information on it that only Jaliek knows which to me is a load of bull. They want us to believe that Jaliek is alive and well and they still maintain that claim even to this day.

Read this old article here:

https://poststar.com/news/local/anonymous-letter-jaliek-still-alive/article_cb916635-c996-55ba-8d28-ffcf66009b99.html

They want us to believe that he is alive but no one is buying it ’cause there is not a shred of evidence that he is alive. What information on here that only Jaliek would know? Well Jaliek had a cat named Diamond and about the macaronni family thing, I think it’s a misspelled word of “macaroni” so is there a family that Jaliek knew that he used to make “macaroni” with? That could be what the macaroni thing is about.

The “Franti Yell Fire” thing was a line from a song by Michael Franti and Spearhead “Yell Fire”. I listened to the song myself plenty of times and I can’t see a 12 year old kid with all kinds of special needs problems knowing who an artist by the name of Michael Franti is. I heard something about that Jaliek was a fan of music but I can’t see him knowing who Michael Franti is and that’s when I knew immediately that this letter has “bullshit” written all over it. Unless “the parents” are fans of Michael Franti, hmmm???

They want us to believe he’s still alive and well but there’s not a shred of evidence. That’s why Jaliek has been presumed dead for years and we will continue to believe that he’s still dead since there is no proof of him being alive. Like the title of this blog says, “You can’t just say it, you gotta prove it” which is true.

These adoptive parents have been asked repeatedly to prove that he’s still alive but they haven’t yet. How would they prove that he’s still alive? Well… how about release a video of Jaliek talking to us, how about send out a recent picture of him to the media and maybe even have Jaliek call the police department to tell them that he’s okay… but so far none of that stuff yet.

There’s no evidence of him being alive. There is NOTHING…. zilch.

If he really is alive, though then why would they hide him? Are people out there holding him captive if he is alive? Could be a possibility and admittedly that has crossed my mind a little bit that someone or some people might be holding him captive out there… ya know, holding him as a prisoner or something. The adoptive parents might of given him to another family who is holding him as a prisoner and at a pretty good hideout. Could be a likely scenario. If he’s still alive, there’s got to be a reason they won’t prove it ’cause whether Jaliek is alive or dead, there was a crime committed either way. They could have given him away to another family illegally when they weren’t supposed to.

For now, though, I’m going to believe he’s dead like everyone else.

If these adoptive parents are innocent like they say they are then why won’t they cooperate to help find their son like the rest of us trying to help find him? If he’s alive and well like they claim then they need to prove it. You can’t just say it ’cause “words” don’t prove anything and that’s why no one is believing everything this letter says.

It’s been 12 years since Jaliek Rainwalker went missing… NEVER FORGET!!!

548944_267764309990510_1640759867_n.jpg

The adoptive parents of Jaliek Rainwalker wants him to be forgotten but we never will. I’ll never forget Jaliek no matter what anyone says or thinks and no one is gonna silence me either.

The adoptive parents think they are untouchable and they think they are tougher than the police but make no mistake about it, y’all, the police will nail them somehow. Everybody knows they did it and I’m not the only one who thinks so. There will be some who will disagree. There will be some who will side with the adoptive parents and will think the police are the bad guys in this case but if you believe that then you are delusional and brain dead.

Some of you may ask, why would the adoptive Mom of this kid continue to live with her husband when he’s been name “Person Of Interest” of this case? A real Mom would have left her husband if she found out he had something to do with a kid’s disappearance but she never left him. Why would she continue to stay with him? Well I think the reason is that she is protecting herself over something. She knows what happens to Jaliek and I think they both wanted him gone in other words, they both did it. Yeah, I definitely think she was involved too, no question about that. This is why she isn’t saying anything about Jaliek on social media and why she’s trying to act like Jaliek never existed in this family.

This family can go on with their lives and pretend none of this is going on all they want to but we will never forget Jaliek and we will never stop wanting answers until we get answers.

We’ll never move on from this until Jaliek is found and those responsible are locked up.
