Lost Boy Larry

On August 7, 1973, a young boy would call out on the CB radio. A radio operator in California received the transmission of 7-year-old Larry calling out for help. He said he was lost in New Mexico and that he and his father had gone out rabbit hunting. His father would then collapse at the wheel, it may have been a heart attack, and the red and white truck crashed and landed upside down in a ditch. It was hard to tell what Larry was saying as he was sobbing heavily and the connection was poor, but he was able to tell the operator this much.

Over the next few days several CB operators in New Mexico, California, Wyoming, and Canada would talk to this supposed "Larry". His pleas were reported to the police, but there was no trace of him nor his father. The calls would stop 5 days later. It's believed that some of these "Larry's and one David" were hoaxes and possible the original was too.

If this was true and Larry and his father were trapped in a truck it's likely they were never found. There were no reports of a missing father and son and no reports of the accident. There were search helicopters out and one "David" talked to a rescue worker who said the boy claimed to see him airplane searchlights that had flown over the Manzano Mountains, south of Albuquerque.
