Let's all help bring Morgan home.All she wanted to do was catch fireflies. Instead, for 6-year-old Morgan Nick, her own captivating light would shimmer, then vanish, from a Little League park in Alma, Arkansas, on June 9, 1995.
As many of you know, Arkansas authorities have publicly identified Billy Jack Lincks as the man they believe responsible for Morgan’s abduction—and the unimaginable “not knowing” pain her family and community have experienced for nearly three decades.
Over the years, Morgan’s mother, Colleen Nick, has channeled her anguish into advocacy and education. She has provided immeasurable support to families of other missing children via the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's Team Hope; led Morgan Nick Foundation efforts to return numerous missing children to their families; helped produce and update the DOJ resource, “When Your Child Is Missing: A Family Survival Guide”; and shared her powerful family perspective during AATTAP-NCJTC law enforcement trainings.
So with all that Colleen has done for others, how can we help her and her family right now?
• Encourage the public to share any information they may have about Lincks (who died in prison in 2000) by calling 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678). No matter how insignificant the detail might seem, it could shed light on Morgan’s disappearance—and whereabouts.
• Follow NCMEC’s reporting on the case: www.missingkids.org/blog/2024/breaking-suspect-id-in-morgan-nick-case.
• Monitor announcements from the Morgan Nick Foundation: morgannickfoundation.com/.
• Watch the documentary/miniseries “Still Missing Morgan”: www.imdb.com/title/tt11595808/.
• Share the “Family Survival Guide” resource with families of missing children: familysurvival.amberadvocate.org.

911-Telecommunicators and Missing & Abducted Children

Nov 14, 2024 | Appleton, WI | 911 Telecommunicators are the first responders in missing children cases, playing a critical, life-saving role as the link between a missing child and their safe return. ...0 CommentsComment on Facebook
As part of AATTAP’s efforts to provide training and technical assistance to our nation’s federally recognized Tribes, the AMBER Alert in Indian Country (AIIC) team recently conducted an Implementation Meeting and two Child Abduction Tabletop Exercises (CATE) with the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony in Reno, Nevada.
The AIIC team met Chief Jerrod Nunes and Public Information Office Bethany Sam at the Chief of Police Cluster Meeting several months before in Reno—and since then, Chief Nunes has worked diligently with AIIC to coordinate the trainings.
Chief Nunes’ passion and dedication to preparing his agency for missing or abduction cases within the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony prompted numerous community members and surrounding agencies to attend the training sessions.
Big thanks to our CATE facilitators: AATTAP-AIIC Project Coordinators David Chewiwie and Amy Hood-Schwindt, Associate Julian Garcia, Program Administrator Janell Rasmussen, Program Manager Tyesha Wood, and everyone in attendance!
