Witnesses observed a man watching Morgan as she was playing with other children at the park. The witnesses also saw a red Ford pickup with a white camper parked nearby that disappeared at the same time as Morgan.

The camper is possibly damaged at the right rear, and was described as 4 to 5 inches too short for the truck. The truck is described as having a short wheel base, paint dulled with age, and a possible Arkansas license plate.

The man was described as white, 6 feet tall, with a medium to solid build (approximately 180 lbs.), salt-and-pepper hair, a mustache, and a 1-inch beard. He is believed to have been 23-38 years old at the time of the abduction.

[Guess Who]

Wonder if it would be possible to run a VIN list/license plate/owners of all the red trucks with white campers in the U.S. at that time.? Yes, it would be a long list. They could start with Arkansas, TN, and other surrounding states, and then branch out to other states further away to make it more manageable.

Most DMVs don't keep track of truck shells. They aren't registered. Nor here, at least. Our state would have no clue as to the shell on our truck.

Here either. You can add a tool box, topper, etc. and it would not be in records identifying it or registered in any way.

They can maybe narrow down the year and model of truck itself by photos or enhancements and get records on the trucks that match but it would be a big job. It is a pretty "square" truck for the 90s.

No registration or licensing here if it itself doesn't have wheels

As in if it was a pull behind camper, they would have to register it but not the type that just covers the bed

 

[GrandmaBear]

Same. Even with a camper trailer with wheels pulled behind, there would be nothing showing which truck is pulling it and when.

I do think though this looks like an older truck and camper for the year she went missing that hopefully is unique enough because older that someone might recognize. And perhaps VINs on such age of trucks at least in that state or the surrounding ones might yield something, it's a good idea.

FBI seeking information on person of interest in Morgan Nick case

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public’s help collecting information on a person of interest in the disappearance of Morgan Nick from an Alma baseball field in 1995.

FBI seeking information on person of interest in Morgan Nick case​

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public’s help collecting information on a person of interest in the disappearance of Morgan Nick from an Alma baseball field in 1995.

The FBI is seeking information on Billy Jack Lincks, who died in prison in 2000.

According to a release from the FBI on Tuesday, approximately two months after Morgan Nick’s disappearance, Lincks attempted to abduct a young girl in Van Buren at a location eight miles from the Wofford baseball field where Nick was last seen.


The FBI is now asking for help from anyone who knew Billy Jack Lincks.

Whether through church, work, school, or any social activity, the Bureau is looking for information about Lincks and details about his entire life.

FBI Public Affairs Officer Connor Hagan says this is the first time a public person of interest has been announced by the bureau in the Morgan Nick case.

“The FBI is fully prepared to accept hundreds if not thousands of tips. We have dozens of individuals who are standing by the phones ready to take that information, analyze it, pass it on to investigators for further work,” Hagan said.


Court records show that Lincks was convicted of felony sexual indecency with a child in March of 1996 and had pleaded guilty to charges of felony first-degree carnal abuse in 1993. He died in prison in 2000.

Hagan said the FBI never polygraphed Lincks but there were reports that he was polygraphed by a law enforcement agency when he was arrested.

Morgan Nick disappearance: FBI believes person of interest in 1995 case may have had ties to TN

FBI agents are looking for anyone in Tennessee who knew Billy Jack Lincks, a person of interest in the 1995 disappearance of 6-year-old Morgan Nick.

FBI: Person of interest in missing Arkansas girl case from 1995 may have had ties to Tennessee​

It's been more than 26 years since 6-year-old Morgan Nick disappeared while playing with friends at a little league game in northwest Arkansas.

This month, the FBI announced officials may be closer than ever to identifying her kidnapper.


Agents also said people in Tennessee may know valuable information.

FBI agents are seeking any information about Billy Jack Lincks, who the agency named a person of interest in the case on Nov. 9.

He died in prison in 2000.

"We believe he had ties to the region," said Connor Hagan, a FBI spokesman based in Little Rock. "There's nothing concrete that ties him to Tennessee, but there's a good chance he was associated to people in the state.

"We're going way back. People move around, but we put this out to all those states surrounding Arkansas — from Mississippi to Missouri to Louisiana to Oklahoma to Tennessee to Texas, to get as much as possible. People knew him. Someone knows him."

According to the FBI, Lincks was born and raised in Crawford County, Arkansas. He served with the U.S. Army during World War II and then worked at Braniff Airlines in Dallas from 1962 to 1974. He returned to Van Buren, Arkansas, in the late 1970s.

About two months after Morgan’s disappearance, the FBI reported, Lincks attempted to abduct a young girl in Van Buren at a location eight miles from the baseball field where Morgan was last seen. Lincks died in prison in 2000.

The FBI is requesting help from anyone who knew Lincks.

"Whether it was through school, work, church, or any social activity, we need information about Lincks and details about his entire life," Hagan said.

Anyone who knew Lincks or has any information about him or his life, is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Morgan Nick disappearance: Who is Billy Jack Lincks?

Morgan Nick was last seen nearly 27 years ago, with authorities still working to crack the case. Last November, Billy Jack Lincks was named as a person of interest.

Morgan Nick disappearance: Who is Billy Jack Lincks?​

What happened to Morgan Nick?

This is a question that countless people have asked for nearly three decades since the little girl from Ozark, Arkansas disappeared.

After all of the years that have passed, police released the first and only person of interest in the cold case last November-- revealing a new lead in the disappearance of Morgan Nick.

That person of interest was Billy Jack Lincks, who unfortunately died before he ever told what he knew about the case.

With unanswered questions still lingering about Lincks, THV11 decided to dig deeper into the man's past and his connection to this case.



Taking a look into his past, Lincks was no stranger to law enforcement.

According to court documents from August 1995, he attempted to abduct an 11-year-old girl at a Sonic in Van Buren, Arkansas.

It happened just two months after Morgan's abduction, only eight miles away from the Wofford Baseball Field where Morgan was last seen.

Following the Sonic incident, Lincks was charged and later convicted for sexual solicitation of the Van Buren child.

The biggest detail about Lincks that stuck out from the investigation was not his track record, it was the vehicle he drove-- a red 1986 Chevrolet pickup.

For years now the Alma Police Department has connected a similar red truck, but one with a white camper shell, to Morgan's disappearance.

"We have it on video. The night of the ballgame that Morgan was taken, there's a home video from the ball field and that truck can be seen in it and the owner, or whoever was in the vehicle has never been identified," Chief Pointer said.

Court documents show that during witness interviews from Lincks' conviction, a neighbor told police they 'think Lincks had a camper shell on his red pickup' and that they 'believe it was two months ago when he saw the camper.'

Despite that, Chief Pointer said they've never been able to find and question who owned that truck.

"It may not be who took Morgan, but we've never been able to identify who the owner of that truck was," he said.

As for Billy Jack Lincks, records show he was charged with sexual abuse in 1992 prior to his Van Buren sexual solicitation conviction in 1995.

Lincks was sentenced to six years in prison but wouldn't serve the full time as he died behind bars in 2000 before the FBI would ever name him as a person of interest in Morgan Nick's case.

While the mystery still remains of who abducted Morgan as she was innocently catching fireflies, Chief Pointer said his department won't stop searching for answers.

"Until we can bring her home, then we haven't done our job and it's all about Morgan. I mean, we have to. We have to fight for her," he said.

As for the Nick family, they continue to hold onto hope for her return or at the very least, closure in knowing what happened to Morgan.

"Our belief is that somewhere, somebody knows the truth about Morgan and that someday we will know that truth, that we will find that," Colleen said.

It's been 27 years since Morgan Nick's disappearance

On June 9, 1995, six-year-old Morgan Nick was playing with friends at an Alma ballpark. It would be the last time she was seen.

It's been 27 years since Morgan Nick's disappearance​

On June 9, 1995, six-year-old Morgan Nick was playing with friends at an Alma ballpark. It would be the last time she was seen. Since Morgan's disappearance, which sparked a statewide outcry that is still heard 27 years later, hundreds of leads have poured in to the local police, state officials and the FBI.


The Morgan Nick case is still an ongoing investigation. If you know anything about her disappearance, you are asked to contact the Alma Police Department at (479) 632-3333 or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

I have to wonder if the person who abducted her is still alive.

He would have been in the middle of my age group. I turned 25 3 days after her abduction. His age group 23-28. So I think it's very possible. But no other crimes?. Or didn't get caught. Probably the latter. Someone usually escalates from peeping, Fantasies, Molestation. Then working up to kidnapping and murder. I bet who did it. Had a criminal record that has crimes against children. And he was free and shouldn't have been.

 

[Mel70]

Apparently revealed in the documentary was that a group of teenagers walking by a river that night had supposedly witnessed a red truck, and a man holding down a young child on a river bank south of the ball park. When the teens took police to where they witnessed this, they noticed the water level had risen to a point where it had submerged the location where the teens had seen the vehicle and man. What a frightening revelation if what the teens saw was true.

They could have overpowered him and saved her life IMO.

Well they said 23-28 age group in 1995. I was 25. That's not my age group. I wonder about that though. Oh and look at that. Two times charged with child sex abuse. Once before her abduction and one after.

It looks like a "Mazda Sundowner". My best friend in college had one. With a topper and it was this color. It's kind of a dull, reddish rust colored.

Pure speculation on my part, but I have often wondered if there is a connection with the JonBenet case IF an intruder/stranger was indeed involved in JBR's murder, as the late Lou Smit and the Ramseys believed. Roughly 18 months apart, both little girls with blond hair, both roughly the same age. CO is not that far from Arkansas. Drive west through either KS or OK, and you are in CO.
