ST. LOUIS (AP) — Descendants of a man who vanished after winning a historic legal fight to become the first black student at the University of Missouri's law school had hoped an FBI cold-case initiative focusing on possible racially motivated deaths from the civil rights era would unearth clues about his disappearance. But federal records obtained by The Associated Press and subsequent interviews show that Lloyd Gaines' disappearance in 1939 was not among the more than 110 cases reviewed between 2006 and at least 2013 under a Department of Justice initiative and the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act.
