Stirring up a cold case - Morgan Nick - Missing Child

Ten years ago June 9, a little girl in Arkansas was walking to her mom's car after chasing fireflies after a Little League game. Six-year-old Morgan Nick stopped to take care of some sand in her shoe. Her Mom got in the car to turn on the air conditioning - when she looked to check on her daughter, the little girl had vanished. There has been no word of her since.

Alma, Arkansas, cops are making another push on this case. They've released an age-enhanced picture of what Morgan might look like at age 16, and a composite sketch of a suspicious man who was seen in the area around that time. (Of course, there's no way of knowing if he's the kidnapper. Keep your mind open.)

If anyone knows what has happened to Morgan, the good folks of Alma need to hear from you.

America's Most Wanted, which has a section devoted to missing children, has more here, including pictures.

Morgan's mother, Colleen Nick, started the Morgan Nick Foundation to help find missing children, reduce the number of abductions (by educating families and children), to serve as a support team for families of missing children, and to help law enforcement. For more information specifically on Morgan's case, see Morgan's Story.

That's the kind of story that's every parent's nightmare -- and even though we know it's statistically anomalous, because the fear factor is so huge, we police our children as if it happens every day, everywhere.

Dear sylvansurf, Thanks for the info.

Dear sylvansurf, Oops, just went digging for more and found the show ran yesterday. (Bummer.) It was a two-hour special with info on missing children across the country. (Let's hope it turns something up for some of these families!) The Morgan Nick Foundation has some info on the show and the home's makeover.
