In a significant development in the 1995 disappearance of 6-year-old Morgan Nick, DNA evidence found in a truck once owned by suspect Billy Jack Lincks has been linked to Morgan's family. The evidence, analyzed by Othram Laboratory, suggests Morgan was in Lincks' truck, intensifying the focus on him as the primary suspect, despite his death in 2000. The case remains open as investigators continue to seek information to resolve Morgan's fate.
The long-standing mystery surrounding the disappearance of Morgan Nick may be closer to resolution following a crucial DNA evidence discovery. Morgan, who vanished from a Little League game in Alma, Arkansas, in 1995, has been the subject of an extensive investigation led by the Alma Police Department. Recent advancements in DNA analysis have provided new insights into the involvement of Billy Jack Lincks, a suspect who died in 2000.
In a recent update, the Alma Police Department announced that DNA evidence collected from a truck once owned by Billy Jack Lincks has been positively linked to Morgan Nick's family. The evidence, consisting of hair samples, was analyzed by Othram Laboratory, which confirmed the genetic material belonged to either Morgan's mother, Colleen Nick, one of her siblings, or her children. This discovery has significantly shifted the focus back to Lincks, who had previously been a person of interest in the case[1][2].
The investigation into Morgan Nick's disappearance has been a community effort, with local law enforcement dedicating thousands of hours to pursuing leads.

Authorities continue to appeal to the public for any information that could lead to resolving the case. The involvement of various law enforcement agencies and the community's support highlights the complexity and dedication required to solve such a longstanding case. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other officials have expressed their support for the efforts to bring closure to Morgan's family[5].
The discovery of DNA linking Billy Jack Lincks to the disappearance of Morgan Nick marks a pivotal turn in a case that has captivated and troubled the Alma community for nearly three decades.
