On Wednesday, May 5, 1982 at approximately 12:30 p.m., 2½-year-old Russell Mort disappeared from his fenced in backyard at 2080 River Road, Lot #140, in the Town of Wheatfield.
After 32 years, the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office continues to actively investigate this missing person case. Recently the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children completed an updated age progression of Russell, which is included in this release. The sheriff’s office is releasing this new picture of Russell in hopes of generating new leads.
On May 30, the eighth annual "Ride for Missing Children” was sponsored by The National Missing and Exploited Children/NY Regional Office (NCMEC/NY), beginning at the Getzville Fire Department and traveling into Niagara County. A portion of the ride in Niagara County was designated as a silent tribute honoring Russell Mort, as the riders traveled through Lockport, Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda before entering back into Erie County, finishing at the Getzville Fire Department.
All proceeds went to the Buffalo NCMEC/NY Branch to help support efforts in bringing missing children home and child safety education in our community. This year’s ride began with an inspiring speech from Russell Mort’s mother, encouraging the riders to never forget the missing.

Anyone with information regarding the investigation into Russell’s disappearance is encouraged to call the 24 hour hotline of the National Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 or contact the Niagara County Sheriff’s at 438-3393
