PHOENIX — Police in Buckeye are still asking the public for help to find a missing boy who disappeared one year ago Tuesday.

“This case weighs heavy on our hearts,” Buckeye Police Department detective Tamela Skaggs said. “This is something that we think about every single day, we want answers just as much as everybody else.”

Jesse Wilson was 10 years hold when he vanished from his home near Interstate 10 and Watson Road.

An extensive search of the area around the home was conducted, but it was fruitless.

Skaggs said officers have not given up in their attempts to find Wilson and aren’t closing any doors on leads.

“You just never know,” she said. “It continues and we receive information all the time, so you just never know. We can’t rule anything out.”

Skaggs said officers wanted to use the anniversary of Wilson’s disappearance to remind people of the case in hopes it could trigger memories that could lead to a break in the case.

Law enforcement has asked for anyone who may have information about Wilson’s whereabouts or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance to contact the Buckeye Police Department at  623-349-6411 or email bpdtips@buckeyeaz.gov.

We want to hear from you.
