Boise police detectives are using DNA technology to re-examine the 1983 disappearance of 2-year-old Jason Cannon, hoping to finally solve the cold case and bring peace to the Cannon family.
The disappearance of two-year-old Jason Cannon in Boise, Idaho , in 1983 remains an unsolved mystery that has haunted the city for over four decades. His mother briefly left him unattended outside their apartment while retrieving a jacket on a chilly March day. When she returned, Jason was gone. Despite an extensive search involving a dive team, no trace of the toddler was found. The case baffled detectives at the time.
They pursued several leads, including reports of a boy with an older man in the downtown area and a grey van driving erratically near Jason's apartment complex. However, all these leads eventually went cold. The lack of conclusive evidence left the Cannon family searching for answers, while the community grappled with the unanswered questions surrounding the little boy's vanishing.Now, after 41 years, Boise police detectives are hoping that advancements in DNA technology can provide a breakthrough in the case. This technology, which was not available in 1983, could potentially lead to identifying new suspects or providing crucial forensic evidence that could finally shed light on what happened to Jason Cannon. Detectives remain determined to find closure for the Cannon family, vowing to work on the case until they either locate Jason or exhaust all possible avenues of investigation. The case serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of unsolved mysteries and the hope that new scientific advancements can bring long-awaited answers
