Disappearance of Corey Gilbert

At 12:30 p.m. on December 16, 1984, 6-year-old Corey Gilbert was at the Ten-To-Ten grocery store on the 3200 block of Jefferson Highway in Jefferson, Louisiana.  He and another boy were playing a video game and the boy turned his back and when he turned back around Corey was gone.

At the time Corey lived at the 500 block of Causeway Blvd. It's possible that he was sighted by the Mississippi River and may have fallen into it. 

Corey is a black male and was 6-years-old at the time. He was 4'0" and 55 lbs at the time. He has black short hair and brown eyes. Two of his bottom teeth were missing at the time. He was wearing a royal blue muscle shirt or tank top with white trim, blue jeans, and white sneakers with red and blue stripes or blue sneakers with red stripes.
