Wallace Guidroz

Two-year-old Wallace Guidroz was last seen on January 10, 1983 in Tacoma, Washington. His father, Stanley Lee Guidroz took him to Point Defiance Park that day where he began playing with a little girl about his own age and the girl's mom near a duck pond. Stanley left them to go for a walk around the pond with a man that he thought was the little girl's father and they shared a beer.

When Stanley returned 25 to 40 minutes later, Wallace, the little girl and the girl's mom were gone. Stanley and the man split up to search for them, but the man went in another direction and never returned. After searching for Wallace for two hours, he called the police at 7:42 that night. The man, woman and little girl were never identified. The police aren't sure if they're connected to Wallace's disappearance, but they were sought out as witnesses.

After Wallace's disappearance became public, a woman called the police and told them that she was at the park with her children that day and saw a man and woman together; the man matched Stanley's description. She said that the couple attempted to abduct her children twice, but this has not been verified.

In 2011, Stanley was charged with stabbing his second wife, Pepettra Guidroz to death and later pled guilty to second-degree murder. In June of that same year, the police dug for Wallace's body in a waterfront area along Ruston Way in Tacoma, Washington, but nothing was found.

Stanley was later charged with manslaughter in Wallace's death. He said that when he and Wallace got home from the park, Stanley angrily lashed out at Wallace because he was fussing in his high chair. Stanley said that Wallace accidentally fell out of the high chair, hit his head on the floor and died.

In 2015, a judge supressed Stanley's confession and dropped the charges against him, stating that there wasn't enough evidence (other than Stanley's statements to the police) to support the prosecution's case. Wallace's case is classified as an endangered missing person and investigators believe that his body might not be recoverable.
