Alan John Westerfield Left: Alan, circa 1964; Right: Age-progression at age 46 (circa 2003) Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance Missing Since: September 12, 1964 from Fayetteville, North Carolina Classification: Endangered Missing Date Of Birth: August 24, 1957 Age: 6 years old Height and Weight: 3'10, 80 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Sandy brown hair, blue eyes. Details of Disappearance Alan's stepfather dropped him and his older brother, Terry Westerfield, off at the Broadway Theater on Hay Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina on September 12, 1964. The two brothers were never seen again and it is unclear if they actually walked into the theater. Police questioned the boys' stepfather, Carl Bock, who said he dropped Terry and Alan off at the theater at 5:30 p.m. When he went to pick them up at 8:00 p.m., he said, they had disappeared. Some employees at the theater remember seeing the Westerfield children that evening, but other theater workers do not. They were regular customers and could be easily recognized. Bock was separated from the children's mother at the time Terry and Alan vanished. He was an Army sergeant who worked in the Criminal Investigations Division at Fort Bragg in 1964, and was shipped overseas a year after his stepsons disappeared. Investigators believe Bock was in some way involved in the Westerfield children's disappearances. They think the boys were both killed a short time after being abducted. No one has ever been charged in the cases, however. It was raining on the night they disappeared. Terry and Alan's biological father was interviewed and ruled out as a suspect. Bock has since divorced from Alan and Terry's mother and now lives in Wisconsin; he was last interviewed by police in Virginia in 2000. The Westerfield brothers' cases remain unsolved.

http://www.wral.com/missing-brothers-case-...rance/12176586/ Missing brothers case is NC's oldest unsolved disappearance Posted March 3, 2013 Fayetteville, N.C. — The case of two missing Fayetteville brothers, a 6-year-old and 11-year-old, who vanished in 1964, is the oldest unsolved disappearance on the books in North Carolina. If Alan and Terry Westerfield were around today, they'd be 56 and 60 years old respectively. But their family believes the worst has happened. "I've come to the conclusion that those children are dead," John McDougald, the Westerfield boys' uncle, told WRAL News nearly 14 years ago. "My whole family was completely devastated by that, and to be completely honest with you, none of us have ever gotten over it." According to police reports, the boy's stepfather dropped them off at Fayetteville's popular Broadway Theater on Sept. 12, 1964, and they were never seen again. McDougald said the boys often went to the theater. "They loved to be children. They loved to play. They loved to ride bikes. They loved to go to the movies," he said. Some theater employees said they saw the brothers that day. Others said they didn't. Fayetteville missing persons case is NC's oldest Fayetteville missing persons case is NC's oldest "Some of the people who were working at the theater at the time insisted they never showed up because the mother was always real strict about, when the movie is over, don't go outside and wait," said Lt. Bruce Moore with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. "(She would say), 'You wait inside, and I'll step inside and get you.'" Heavy rain from Hurricane Dora hampered the search in the crucial 48 hour period after the boys were reported missing and, once the story hit the newspapers, tips flooded in from across the state, as well as from Mississippi and Arizona. Still, Terry and Alan Westerfield were never found. "I just wish that we could bring a closure some way, some how, because I firmly believe that there's somebody out there that knows something," McDougald said. "I just wish that they would come forward." Anyone with information on the disappearance of Terry and Alan Westerfield can call NC Wanted's toll-free hotline at 1-866-43-WANTED, or go to the NC Wanted website and click "Report a Tip." Callers never have to identify themselves. |
