#### Details of Disappearance Alexis resided with her mother and stepfather, Ayanna and LaRon Bourgeois, in Milwaukee. LaRon walked Alexis to Hi-Mount Boulevard School in the 4920 block of West Garfield Avenue near 49th Street at approximately 8:00 a.m. on May 3, 2002. Alexis was a first-grade student there. The school is less than one block from the family's home. Alexis disappeared right after that. This case has swept the entire state with concern. The detail and the amount of investigation is enormous. Therefore I will keep it simple and let you read it from the sources. #### More Information [Age progressed photos](https://www.missingpersons.doj.wi.gov/missing/alexis-patterson) [Charley Project](https://charleyproject.org/case/alexis-s-patterson) [Doe Network](https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3085dfwi.html) [Reward](https://www.wisn.com/article/alexis-patterson-milwaukee-missing-21-years/43781462)

#### Details of Disappearance Paul was last seen in Kenosha on January 4, 2009. Her vehicle was driven off the pier into Lake Michigan, apparently deliberately, at 3:50 a.m. The car was later recovered, about fifty feet from the end of the pier, and pulled out of the water. One of the windows was broken and there were no human remains in the vehicle. Paul has never been heard from again. Investigators stated there was evidence that Paul had been despondent before the crash; she was having financial problems and had been evicted from her home. She left behind a ten-year-old son. She is presumed deceased. #### More Information [NaMus](https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/22033/details?nav) [Charley Project](https://charleyproject.org/case/staci-lei-paul)

#### Details of Disappearance Kenneth Plaisted, a lawyer from New Holstein, went missing from the Milwaukee area on November 16, 1971. Kenneth had a business meeting in Milwaukee and planned to meet with his daughter around noon, and was supposed to pick his wife up from shopping later in the afternoon. Plaisted had a cup of coffee in a Plankinton Building diner with a friend of his then got up and left, saying he was going to get his daughter. He never arrived at her apartment. When the family looked at the car, the glove box was rummaged and open, the keys were gone and Kenneths hat was on the curb. Plaisted was embezzling from one of his clients but his family does not believe he'd abandon them to avoid prosecution. Another of Plaisted's clients escaped from prison that very day and some believe he took his revenge. He is a Navy veteran and has six children. He was declared legally dead in 1979. Was a skiptrace ever done? #### More Information [Doe Network](https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/4038dmwi.html) [Charley Project](https://charleyproject.org/case/kenneth-michael-plaisted) [NaMus](https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/12222?nav) [Article](https://www.newspapers.com/image/240664774/?clipping_id=12656207&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjI0MDY2NDc3NCwiaWF0IjoxNTcwMjAyNDYwLCJleHAiOjE1NzAyODg4NjB9.74p-48cTqHG4xDOQXKLyI9hkl3gvwbkQ-0vXVRt7H5I) [Article 2 re: escaped convict](https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/wi-kenneth-michael-plaisted-48-milwaukee-16-nov-1971.371997/) [Article 3: re: return of amt embezzled](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-post-crescent-paid-back/157815694/) [Article 4: about the receivership](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-post-crescent-receivership/157815806/) [Article 5: re audit](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sheboygan-press/12656191/)

#### Details of Disappearance Victoria Prokopovitz was last seen at her residence on the [5100 block of Kunesh Road in Pittsfield](https://maps.app.goo.gl/96vzUNM7cSp28U6R9). She left behind her purse with all contents to include her ID as well as her cell phone. She has no known credit cards. She has no vehicle. After obstructing the investigation and complaining about it, James Prokopovitz was discovered to have had a girlfriend Kathryn Friday while still married to Victoria. Friday pleaded no contest to perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury, and obstruction. In November of that year, just before her sentencing, Friday died by suicide. James was convicted of Victoria's murder and faces a sentence of life in prison. Charley Project tracks the case and developments beginning to end. The family would like to recover her remains, and James will not tell his family where she is - he still claims he is innocent. However multiple people, including James, had mentioned he had access to sludge piles which would dissolve a person. #### More Information [Help Find VIctoria Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/HelpFindVickiProkopovitz) [NaMus](https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/22597/details) [Charley Project](https://charleyproject.org/case/victoria-lynn-prokopovitz) [Doe Network](https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/software/mp-main.html?id=4867DFWI) [Reward](https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/local/2015/05/07/warrant-suggests-foul-play-victoria-prokopovitz-missing-person-case/70974526/)
