Two teenage boys disappeared from the New Lisbon Developmental Center, on the edge of the pine barons of Burlington County more than 42 years ago.

The FBI Newark Field Office announced Wednesday that the boys, David Williams and Steven Anderson who vanished in 1975, have been added to the FBI’s website in the Kidnapping/Missing Persons section.
