At around 6 a.m. on June 11, 2003, Christian Ferguson’s father called 911 from a pay phone at Page and Skinker Boulevards. The father told police he had stopped to make a call and a carjacker drove off with his maroon 1999 Ford Expedition with Christian inside. He told police his son was wearing a diaper and was wrapped in a red and blue blanket.
The SUV was found later that day in Ferguson, about five miles from the intersection in St. Louis where the father reported his son missing. A resident of a cul-de-sac in Ferguson told police she had seen the SUV parked there for hours, including around the time of the 911 call several miles away.
In 2022, a jury found Christian's father guilty of first-degree murder and abuse of a child resulting in death. Christian's remains have yet to be found.
