For eight consecutive years, an unknown person has consistently visited the child's grave and placed toys upon it, though no one can truly figure out who it is. Every month another toy appears on Decker's grave, even though it might seem like just another sad story of a child who died too soon.

Since his family left the area, no trace of Herbert's relatives has been found, and as far as the police and welfare authorities know, no one has shown a lasting interest in him over the years.

"We also know almost nothing about Herbert himself. All we have is his death certificate, nothing more. We have no clue how the toys are getting to his grave or who's putting them there."
