On January 17, 1966, David Dixon was only 3 years when he went missing while riding his bike in the front driveway of his house in the neighborhood of Sylmar in Los Angeles, CA.  For several days police and volunteers including the Boy Scouts of America searched for the toddler through the surrounding hills, caverns, and bushes around Sylmar on the belief that David may have wandered off from his home. They also searched neighborhood homes, garages, alleyways and backyards in case he was kidnapped or had gone to play with another child. Nothing came from these searches and there were no witnesses to David' disappearance. The case hit newspapers and eventually an official BOLO went out to other California cities and the rest of the United States.
