Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2822) and 9 other sources
Sean Wayne Evans, a 2-year-old boy, disappeared on May 17, 1984, from his family's yard in Watertown, New York. Around 5:30 p.m. that day, Sean was playing outside near his home with his ball and his baby brother. His mother briefly went inside to answer a phone call, and when she returned just minutes later, Sean was gone. The ball he had been playing with was found near the bank of the Black River, which flowed behind their home.

Police believe it is possible that Sean may have fallen into the river, but despite extensive searches of the area, his body was never recovered. The circumstances around his disappearance remain unclear, and the case is still classified as a non-family abduction. Sean was last seen wearing a yellow jacket, red pants, and blue sneakers. He had a birthmark between his shoulder blades and a scar on his forehead. Decades later, his case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek any information that might provide answers to this long-standing mystery.
