Details of Disappearance
Adside's parents were both in jail in October 2001, and he was being looked after by a babysitter, Gwendolyn Brown. Brown told police that he was abducted by three unidentified men during an early morning robbery of her home near southwest 296th Street and 158th Avenue in Miami, Florida on October 18, 2001. The robbery, she said, took place while she walking her teenage daughter to the bus stop. Upon her return home, Brown was confronted by the three armed suspects and she and her live-in boyfriend, Jeffrey Cochran, were tied up while the robbers demanded money. Brown and Cochran later heard a single gunshot. When they were able to free themselves, the house had been ransacked and Adside and several items were missing. The baby has never been seen again.Composite sketches of the three abductors are posted below this case summary. They should all be considered armed and dangerous. A bloodstained mattress and sheets was found in the home after Adside's abduction. The blood was Adside's. Investigators believe he may have been severely injured or killed.
Investigators have publicly expressed skepticism of Brown and Cochran's account. The couple, who both have criminal histories and were arrested after Adside's disappearance for drug offenses, did not call police for two hours after Adside's alleged abduction and had no explanation as to why. They are not being referred to as suspects in the baby's disappearance, however.
Adside has never been heard from again and his abductors have not been identified. The child's case remains unsolved.
