On July 10, 1971 8-year-old Douglas John Legg was visiting his uncle in Newcomb, New York. He had 12,500-acre estate in the Santanoni Preserve in Newcomb and Douglas went on a family hike in the Adirondack wilderness.
His Uncle sent him back to the camp at 3:30 to put on some long pants to help protect from poison ivy. His uncle wasn't worried because Douglas had gone hiking in this area before and very familiar with it. It was only a short distance from where they were at. He never made it to the camp and was never seen again.
A six-week search ensued for the boy, but it was fruitless. Foul play isn't suspected and he may have gotten lost and or died from an accident in the wilderness.
Douglas is a white male and was 8 at the time. He was 4'6" and 76 lbs. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. He went by Doug and Dougie. He has a slight speech impediment.
