(KAIR)--A decades-old case involving a missing Atchison child gains new attention through social media.

Jeremy Coots disappeared February 18, 1977, last seen in the Potato Hill area, south of Atchison, disappearing while playing outside. The five day search that followed led to no traces of the missing 4-year-old, including clothing or shoes. Investigators believe he fell into the Missouri River, about 400 yards from where he was last seen, but his body has never been recovered.

This week, on the anniversary of Jeremy's disappearance, the organization Kansas Missing and Unsolved shared to social media a flyer detailing Jeremy's story, complete with an age-enhanced photograph showing how he might look at his current age of 52.

Although nearly 5-decades have passed since his disappearance, the organization appears hopeful that bringing the case to a new generation may help bring it to an end.

Anyone with related information is asked to call the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 785-296-4017.
