Alfred James Grimes, a 14-year-old boy from Monterey, California, disappeared on December 14, 1968. He was last seen early that morning with his friend, 12-year-old Sammy Jackson, heading to Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey for a fishing trip, which was a regular activity for the boys. A bus driver recalled seeing them around 4:30 a.m. and dropping them off near the wharf. However, neither of the boys were ever seen again.
By the evening, when Alfred failed to return home, his father went looking for him and later reported him missing to the police. Investigators speculated that the boys might have drowned, but no conclusive evidence was found to confirm this. Alfred's family strongly believed he had not run away, as he did not take any additional clothing or money with him, and there were no indications of problems in his life.
Despite efforts to locate the boys, the case remains unsolved. Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of an accident, but the exact circumstances of Alfred and Sammy’s disappearance remain a mystery.
Last Seen: Dec 14, 1968
