December 14, 2009 had to be a really sad day for the mother and father of Marc Anthony Bookal. While the mother was gone, her boyfriend was getting ready to take Marc with him to go visit a relative but while her boyfriend was getting ready little 4 year old Marc walked out of their apartment door which had been left open and he has not been seen since.
Little Marc is about 3 ft. 5 in. tall and he weighs about 42 lbs. He is a light skinned black boy with medium length brown afro and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a red long sleeved shirt and gray sweatpants. He has on a pair of white Nike sneakers.
Marc also had blotches on his skin on the back of his hands which is apparently were from a previous burn injury.
It breaks my heart to say this innocent child has yet to be located.
Police have arrested the mother’s boyfriend, 30 year old Cory Byrd, charging him with endangering the welfare of a child which is a misdemeanor. According to Newburgh police Sgt. Paul Weber, both of the biological parents have passed polygraph tests. He said they were both found to be truthful in their responses when asked questions about the child’s disappearance. Monday, Cory Byrd’s attorney, Erik Indozonka, received a request for his client to take the polygraph but he declined their request.
Thanks to several donors there have been offers for rewards for the boys return. An anonymous community member offered $10,000 for the safe return of Marc. Another anonymous donor offered a reward of $5000 too.
Monday, Carlie’s Crusade, a Marlboro-based not-for-profit foundation focused on preventing the abduction of children offered and additional $1000 to anyone that provides a tip leading to the return or recovery of Marc Anthony Bookal regardless of the circumstances of his return.
Today is Christmas Eve. Marc needs to be home with his family and not some unknown place where he doesn’t know anyone. I picture him somewhere that is scaring him and that just breaks my heart. Whoever has little Marc PLEASE send him back home. Leave him with someone that will get him home to his mother. It is Christmas time and that baby needs to be with his family.
This message goes for all the other missing children out there. Whoever has these children PLEASE find it in your heart to release them so they can make their way back home.
For those of you that read our articles here on BNN I know you continue your prayers for all these children. I unfortunately had to add another child to my list today, 11 year old Sarah Haley Foxwell which saddens me deeply. Now my list includes Caylee Anthony (found dead), Adji Desir (remains missing), Haleigh Cummings (remains missing), Somer Thompson (found dead), Elizabeth Olten (found dead) , Masaraha Ross (remains missing along with her mother Ronkeya Holmes), Alex Mercado (drowned) Rebecca Marie Allen (found alive), Sandra Cantu (found dead), Anthony Holland (found alive), Shaniya Davis (found dead), Hassani Campbell (remains missing), Giovanni Gonzalez (reported dead), Nevaeh Buchanan ( found dead) and Shannon Dedrick (found alive), Angel Miguel Perez (found safe) Luis Martinez (found dead) Luke Finch (found alive), Kayvon Lewis (fighting for his life), Andrue Jankwitz and Nathaneal Hale (found safe), Robert Manwill (killed), Conner Conley (killed), Marc Anthony Bookal (missing), and Sarah Haley Foxwell (missing).

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackBoth of these children, Marc and Sarah, never had a chance. Their mother/aunt cared more about their child abusing, pedophile boyfriends then they did about these kids. These women do not have my sympathy. They knew exactly what they were bringing into their home with their children, and they did not care. Both should be locked up for endangering the welfare of these kids.
Today, on Christmas Eve, members of the Carlie’s Crusade Foundation delivered to Marc’s siblings gift cards and cash they collected from caring people so that these children may have a little Xmas at such a grim time in there lives. When events like this happen we, the public, seem to forget about the other children that are still at home. We are all keeping hope and praying for Marc’s safe return.
God please watch over ALL of our children today and everyday.Give us strength to keep making a difference with the programs we teach and help us reach more children this year then we did the last. God bless everyone that helped us bring a smile to the children today.
I hope the cash was not turned over to the “mother”—you know, to the subhuman that chose to live with and entrust her baby to the very same subhuman who beat nearly to death her oldest child? What are the odds the kids are going to see toys from this cash? I wish toys were delivered to the kids. The “mother” deserves jail, not money.
Just wanted to say you guys are going a great job spreading the word about missing people.

Sarah Foxwell’s body has been found.
why isn’t anyone talking about this little boy MARC ANTHONY BOOKAL any more repeat the name over and over so you don’t forget it. apparently someone forgot about him thats why this has happened.and someone needs to order the lie detector be taken by CORY BRYD,MARC didn’t have a choice why should he.
dianeg415 – I share your outrage that this little boy is missing. As of yesterday NYPD was sending divers into the Hudson River near the area where police dogs had last gotten his scent. (See link to article below).
The article also says that:
“Byrd, who was supposed to be watching the boy when he disappeared, has since been charged with endangering the welfare of a child. He was also charged with a parole violation. He’s being held in the Orange County Jail.”
But so far “authorities still aren’t calling Byrd a suspect in the boy’s disappearance.” I imagine they’re hoping for evidence or something from interviewing him.

THE POLICE CHARGED HIM LIKE THAT SO THEY CAN HOLD HIM,SO HE DONT RUN.I DONT BLAME THE MOTHER, I DONT THINK SHE SUSPECTED HIM AT ALL, SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET CAUGHT UP.BUT THERE COMES A TIME TO OPEN YOUR EYES(I THINK SHE KNOWS NOW) LETS JUST PRAY SHE GETS CLOSURE,MARC DESERVES THAT MOST. I WOULD NEVER WISH THIS ON ANYONE…BUT IT DOESNT LOOK GOOD AT ALL.SOMEONE FIND THIS BABY SO THEY CAN FRY THAT MOTHER F****R.
Nyc here, I just learned the police are searching a school building with cadaver dogs in tow looking for little marc. They still claim that fregging loser is not a suspect, and that ghetto stupid mother of his (marc)actually still believes he (cory) would not harm a child, when his criminal record proves he already has. This witch says she has to move on because she has two other children to care for but it makes it hard when she knows marc is out there…boohoo she should have had that concern before she left him with corytheloser. I don’t feel sorry for her at all and she should be locked up for leaving her child with a convicted child abuser. How the heck do you move on only 5 weeks after your baby is missing? Not 5 years but five weeks..shaking my head at her.and if I ever get a chance I will let her know just how I feel.
The laws need to catch up with the scum that endanger and hurt children. Kill a child you die. That’s it. If you have no conscience to holds you back from killing a child, then you have no place in this world, and you’re a danger to everyone. Write your Congressmen, your Senators, your local lawmakers. Pedophiles trading kiddy pron get more time that people who kill children & that’s ridiculous!
