In the summer of 2019, a heart-wrenching situation unfolded in Tulsa, Oklahoma, involving a one-year-old boy named Messiah Bolton. On July 8th, the young child, described as being about 24 inches tall and weighing 18 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen in the city. His disappearance was not an isolated event; he vanished along with two other boys from the same household, Malachi and Matthew Gerren. The circumstances surrounding their disappearance were immediately concerning to authorities. The investigation into the disappearance of Messiah and the Gerren boys quickly centered on a custodial conflict. It was reported that their mother was allegedly refusing to return the children to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. This information led many to believe that the three children were in the company of their mother. The coordinated disappearance of the siblings raised significant public concern and drew attention from the media. The Tulsa Police Department officially registered Messiah's case and began their investigation into the complex and sensitive matter. For a period, the whereabouts of Messiah and the other children remained unknown, causing distress for those involved and the community that followed their story. The case, cataloged under NamUs MP76112, was treated as an ongoing missing persons investigation. However, the case of Messiah Bolton eventually reached a positive conclusion, as he has since been located and is alive. While the specific details and date of his recovery are not widely publicized, the resolution brought an end to the uncertainty surrounding his well-being. This case highlights the complexities of missing children's cases, especially when intertwined with custodial disputes, and underscores the relief that comes when a missing child is found safe.
