144: MISSING: Zachary Bernhardt

On September 11, 2000, at approximately 4:47 am, 8-year-old Zachary Bernhardt was reported missing from his apartment in Clearwater, Florida.

Within hours, hundreds of investigators and volunteers were searching for him. But they found no trace of Zach, and as the investigation unfolded, they began questioning whether they had ever been told the full story about what happened that night.

More than 25 years later, Zach remains missing and everyone is left asking the same question: What really happened to Zach Bernhardt?

If anyone has any information, please contact NCMEC at 1-800-843-5678 or Clearwater Police at 1-727-562-4420.
