Disappearance
On June 9, 1995, Morgan Nick and her mother, Colleen Nick, went to a Little League baseball game in their town of Alma, Arkansas. At around 10:30 p.m., Morgan asked her mother if she could catch lightning bugs with her friends. At first, her mother was uncertain, but eventually let her go. She was last seen at 10:45 p.m. by her friends, emptying sand out of her shoes at her mother's car. Her friends said that there was a "creepy" man talking to Morgan around the last time she was seen.
Later that evening, when the game was over, Morgan's friends returned without her. They told Colleen that Morgan was at her car, but when Colleen went to the car to look for Morgan, she was not there. She has not been seen or heard from since.
Aftermath
No one has ever been able to find Morgan or her abductor. Police have released a sketch of the man who talked to Morgan and her friends. He is believed to be about six feet tall, 180 pounds, between 25 and 38 years old, and drives a red Ford pickup truck with a white camper.
Colleen Nick later started the Morgan Nick Foundation, which helps parents cope with the disappearances of children, and helps prevent children from going missing. Her case was shown on both Unsolved Mysteries and America's Most Wanted. The AMBER Alert service is named the Morgan Nick Amber Alert in the state of Arkansas.
Recently, in 2005, Morgan's family was featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition after their house was damaged in a water heater explosion.
