MORGAN NICK, 6, VANISHES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE GAME, NEVER SEEN AGAIN

View descriptionShare

Colleen Nick brings her 6-year-old daughter, Morgan, to a baseball game in Alma, Arkansas. At the field, two children ask Morgan to catch fireflies with them in a green space off the parking lot. As the game wraps up, the children Morgan was playing with return to the stands, but Morgan isn’t with them. They say Morgan's cleaning sand out of her shoes in the parking lot. Colleen goes to get Morgan around 10:45, but the 6-year-old is nowhere to be found.  

Alma PD and Crawford County Sheriffs assume Morgan just wandered off, but adult witnesses say they saw a man trying to talk to a little blonde girl—and his red truck left the parking lot shortly after they lost sight of her. Months later, Alma PD get several reports of attempted kidnappings with the same key detail: a red truck. During one attempt, a bystander manages to write down his license plate number. The driver is identified as Billy Jack Lincks, but he denies involvement in Morgan's disappearance. 

Years later, investigators decide to track down Lincks' truck. Inside, they find blonde hairs that are a DNA match to Colleen Nick, leading them to believe Morgan was once inside. Lincks died in prison on unrelated charges 5 years after Morgan's disappearance.

Investigators are still searching for Morgan Nick, unsure if they will find a now 36-year-old woman, or a little girl’s remains. The FBI is asking for any information on Billy Lincks’ life. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the National Center for Missing and Exploited children at 1-800-THE-LOST.
