this is quite mysterious.......this may sound crazy, but i wonder if he was really there ...do we know know if he actually attended or is this a red herring?



NEW YORK ” A 13-year-old boy went to a restroom during a Yankees game and never returned, and searches of the stadium, nearby fast-food restaurants and train stations by hundreds of police and security guards were fruitless.

Majelique Lewis of Stamford, Conn., disappeared Friday night during the seventh-inning stretch of a Yankees-Angels game, police said.

His mother immediately reported him missing to security, who notified police about an hour later.

Every stadium exit is monitored by security cameras and Lewis' mother did not spot him on hours of recorded images, police said.

It was the teen's first trip to Yankee Stadium . He attended the game with his 65-year-old foster mother, brother and two sisters.

Lewis has no behavioral or mental problems and no history of running away, police said.

"He's an average kid," said Arthur Shannonhouse, who answered the phone at Lewis' home and identified himself as the teenager's father.

Ten to 15 children are reported missing at every Yankees game but are almost immediately located, police said.

not mother, 65 year old foster mother. of no consequence, but i am still suspicious. he was not seen on any camera at the exits. so was he there???

I know what you're getting at LC and we know, as sad as it is, it's quite possible he was never there in the first place.:-1

Hundreds of police and security guards searched for Majelique Lewis (:siteSearch('Majelique Lewis');">search), of Stamford, Conn., after he vanished during the seventh-inning stretch of the Yankees-Angels game Friday night.

Police spokesman Bernard Gifford (:siteSearch('Bernard Gifford');">search) said he had no information on how the boy left the stadium in the Bronx and traveled to the neighboring borough of Queens, where he was found in front of a building in good health.

The boy's mother had immediately reported him missing to stadium security, who notified police about an hour later.

A search of the stadium, including parking lots, restricted areas and locked rooms, was fruitless, police said. Officers also searched nearby fast-food restaurants and train stations.

Every stadium exit is monitored by security cameras and Lewis' mother did not spot him on hours of recorded images, police said. He attended the game with his 65-year-old foster mother, brother and two sisters, police said.

Lewis has no behavioral or mental problems and no history of running away, police said.
