Morgan Nick

And because the kids were the only ones who got a close look at the man before Morgan vanished, their eyewitness accounts became the absolute foundation of the investigation for decades.

The composite sketch of the shirtless man from the parking lot was released to the public, and the abduction of Morgan Nick instantly became a media firestorm, sparking intense statewide searches and catching the attention of America's Most Wanted.

Details were broadcasted over local news stations, urging anyone to come forward with information if they had seen a red pickup truck with a white camper cap on the back, or if you know someone who does have one.

In the desperate days following Morgan's abduction, the Alma police, the state police, and the FBI were flooded with tips.

So police, they run the plates and they show up at this guy's house and they find the red pickup truck with fresh damage to the front end.

They immediately arrest the driver, 71-year-old Billy Jack Links.

And because of the nature of the crime and the vehicle, even though it wasn't a Ford, it all seemed to match the Morgan Nick disappearance perfectly.

He was brought into the FBI for questioning.

We've got a perfect example of that here locally.

Morgan Nick's killer has never, to this day, been caught.

And that happened back in the 90s.

So it's not unreasonable.
