That was Gordon Page, Jr. The case has been repeatedly discussed here, most recently during the past few weeks. But no, he has never been found.

There was also a dark headed young guy, who was I believe autistic, that went missing named Oded Gordon. Its interesting, I was just watching his story today as I was making a dvd for someone. I couldn't find anything about him on the web, not even on the few missing persons websites I looked at, which makes me wonder if he was ever found.

Oded must be the autistic man that the maninblack was talking about. Besides, Page didn't look Arabic anyway. My mistake (apparently).

I recall from the segment that Oded disappeared in New Hampshire in 1988.

Will this ever be solved?

BUMP

My gut tells me that Oded is still alive, probably living in a home somewhere. He couldn't easily communicate, so it wouldn't be surprising that he hasn't resurfaced after all of these years. I believe he was probably picked up by a motorist, as hinted at in the UM segment, and made his way through the upper East coast.

gordon page most likely became homeless

too bad he wasn't smart enough to try calling his parents, i'm sure he has his old phone # memorized

To this day I can't watch the segment again. I cry like a baby because my dear brother is autistic. I've promised my mother that if/when she dies (god forbid) I'll take care of my brother. I've seen the group homes here and the care isn't the best to say the least. Plus my brother has lead a very sheltered life and it wouldn't do good around people he doesn't know. He had to stay with me when mother had a heartattack and was in the hospital. So he knows I'll take care of him and he loves my family. I don't know what lead to Gordon going to a group home but I just know it isn't a option for my brother.

It depends. I don't think my brother would remember the number but I know Gordon was different about numbers maybe but the number may have changed. My brother can remember lots of things like game show hosts. He can name the show and the host but he watches/did watch all them at one point or another. He knows what comes on at what time like Rainman. It is just so sad that they never found Gordon. I remember once my brother took off after my mother at the church we attended but I ran after him to bring him back home. To this day I wonder what came of Gordon and if someone took him in. I hope something good happened otherwise I can't imagine the ladder.

Where was the supervision at this farm? According to Charley Project, Oded appeared to be bothered by flies in the area, and walked away from the group to get away from them. But then no one noticed as he continued to walk for nearly 3 miles away? Always thought that was weird.

Makes you wonder if something more sinister happened. I've seen some of the kids in group homes become violent. We may never know.

Looks like Brandon Call. He was on Step by Step back in the 1990's.
