Details of Disappearance
Kremen was last seen near Buckhorn Flat in the Angeles National Forest in California on July 12, 1960. He was camping with a group of approximately 80 children and adults from the Young Men Christian's Association (YMCA) in Los Angeles, California at the time. He was playing with two other children about 300 yards from the YMCA campsite when he became separated from them and was never seen again. The group realized Kremen was missing just a few minutes after he disappeared and they conducted a search of the area, but turned up no signs as to his whereabouts.
Authorities initially believed Kremen had become lost or injured in the mountains, and a massive search was conducted in the days following his disappearance. The area where he disappeared is very rugged with many chasms and cliffs. Kremen is now believed to have disappeared under suspicious circumstances, however, and may have been kidnapped. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and resided in the 11000 block of Dempsey Avenue in Grenada Hills, California in 1960.
Three other children disappeared from the San Gabriel Mountains in the 1950s; the others are Thomas Bowman, who disappeared on March 23, 1957, and Donald Baker and Brenda Howell, who disappeared together on August 6, 1956. It is not known if the cases are related, but the other children are believed to have been abducted.
