The State - News from Dec. 2, 1987

The FBI reported no new leads in the search for a 7-year-old Northern California boy seen leaving a casino near the California-Nevada border with a stranger last Friday. Las Vegas police and the FBI sought public help in locating Alexander Harris. FBI spokesman Tom Nicodemus said the agency is treating the incident as a kidnaping. “There are some things we’re looking into,” he said. “We’re checking some out-of-state leads.” The boy’s grandfather, Ralph DeBolt of Mountain View, said witnesses saw the boy leave Whiskey Pete’s casino’s video arcade with a man who appeared to be about 35.
