The Alma Police Department has announced they will brief the media on a “significant development” in the Morgan Nick case at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Morgan Nick was a six-year-old girl who went missing while playing with friends at a Little League baseball game in Alma, Arkansas on June 9, 1995. Her case is one of Arkansas’s most enduring unsolved mysteries.
In November 2021, the FBI named Billy Jack Lincks as a person of interest in the case. Lincks was a local World War II veteran who was caught attempting to abduct an 11-year-old girl two months after Morgan’s disappearance. However, he died in prison in 2000 before he could be named a suspect.
The FBI and local communities have offered a $60,000 reward for information that leads to the recovery of Morgan or the identification and arrest of her abductor.
Morgan’s mother, Colleen Nick, created the Morgan Nick Foundation, which works to prevent crimes against children and adults.
Tuesday’s meeting will take place in the courtroom of the Alma Police Department and is open to media only.
