Skyline Elementary School in northwest Portland Oregon is having their annual science fair so the school is opened about 30-minutes earlier than normal to allow parents and students to see the different projects created by the students. Arriving at Skyline just after 8 a.m., Kyron Horman and his stepmother, Terri Horman, go to his classroom and drop off his coat and backpack. Kyron then shows his stepmother his exhibit called "The Red-Eyed Tree Frog".  The two walk around the classes looking at other students' projects and see many other parents and children who have arrived early for the science fair. Terri Horman volunteers her time helping Kryon's teacher, Kristina Porter, and Porter sees Kyron and Terri Horman in Kyron's classroom that morning and another teacher sees Kyron and Terri in another classroom before the 8:45 a.m. school bell rings   As Terry Horman leaves the school, she sees Kyron walking down a hallway toward his classroom inside Skyline Elementary. Kyron has already placed his bookbag and coat in Miss Porter's classroom when he first arrived for the science fair.  Miss Porter starts her class as like every day, then reading group, then recess, then lunch. Around 3pm the children, tired from a busy day, get on the bus to go home.   Kyron Horman's father Kaine is at home getting his daughter ready to meet Kyron's bus after school.  When Kyron doesn't get off the bus, Kaine Horman assumes there is confusion and Kyron is waiting to be picked up at school. The bus driver calls the school to see if Kyron is waiting to be picked up and finds out from the front office that Kyron has been marked absent, he hasn't been at school all day.    Investigators build a timeline quickly as they search for Kryon Horman. The 7-year-old arrives at school with his stepmother, Terri Horman, around 8 a.m. for the Science Fair. Kyron and his stepmother see teachers and other parents touring the classes, and Terri Horman says goodbye to Kyron in the hallway that goes toward his classroom at 8:45 a.m. near the south entrance of the school.  Investigators say Kyron is seen by one more person around 9 a.m. but they will not identify the individual.  Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Kaine Horman -  Dad of Kyron Horman    Jarrett Ferentino – Pennsylvania Attorney/Homicide Prosecutor; Facebook & Instagram: Jarrett Ferentino; Host: “True Crime Boss” Podcast   Dr. Shari Schwartz – Forensic Psychologist (Specializing in Capital Mitigation and Victim Advocacy); Author: “Criminal Behavior” and “Where Law and Psychology Intersect: Issues in Legal Psychology;” X: @TrialDoc”  Dan Corsentino – Former Police Chief, Former Sheriff, Served on US Homeland Security Senior Advisory Board, Private Investigator Annette Newel – KXL News and Host, “Speaking Freely with Annette Newell,” Alpha Media USA (based in Portland, Oregon); X: @AnnetteNewell16 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colleen Nick brings her 6-year-old daughter, Morgan, to a baseball game in Alma, Arkansas. At the field, two children ask Morgan to catch fireflies with them in a green space off the parking lot. As the game wraps up, the children Morgan was playing with return to the stands, but Morgan isn’t with them. They say Morgan's cleaning sand out of her shoes in the parking lot. Colleen goes to get Morgan around 10:45, but the 6-year-old is nowhere to be found.   Alma PD and Crawford County Sheriffs assume Morgan just wandered off, but adult witnesses say they saw a man trying to talk to a little blonde girl—and his red truck left the parking lot shortly after they lost sight of her. Months later, Alma PD get several reports of attempted kidnappings with the same key detail: a red truck. During one attempt, a bystander manages to write down his license plate number. The driver is identified as Billy Jack Lincks, but he denies involvement in Morgan's disappearance.  Years later, investigators decide to track down Lincks' truck. Inside, they find blonde hairs that are a DNA match to Colleen Nick, leading them to believe Morgan was once inside. Lincks died in prison on unrelated charges 5 years after Morgan's disappearance. Investigators are still searching for Morgan Nick, unsure if they will find a now 36-year-old woman, or a little girl’s remains. The FBI is asking for any information on Billy Lincks’ life. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the National Center for Missing and Exploited children at 1-800-THE-LOST.   Joining Nancy Grace Today: Matthew Mangino – Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County); Author: “The Executioner’s Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States;” X: @MatthewTMangino Dr. Judy Ho - Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychologist, Author of The New Rules of Attachment; IG & X: @drjudyho; FB: doctorjudyho; Dr. Jorey L.
