This two-picture combo of photos provided by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children shows Victor Shoemaker Jr. when he was reported missing on May 1, 1994, at age 5 near Kirby, W.Va. , left, and an age-progression photo depicting Victor Shoemaker Jr. at age 24. Twenty years after Shoemaker vanished while playing with two cousins along a West Virginia mountainside, his parents hold the belief that their only child is still alive. The boy known as J.R. had been in the woods behind his grandfather's mobile home in Hampshire County when two cousins emerged without him on May 1, 1994. No trace of him was ever found.
