Jackie Dene Hay, a 5-year-old girl from Topeka, Kansas, went missing on September 12, 1981, in what is considered a likely non-family abduction. Jackie was last seen playing with her step-siblings near their home in southeast Topeka. Her family was preparing for an outing when they realized Jackie was no longer with the other children, prompting a search that began hours later. Jackie was last seen walking near Colfax and Golf Park, reportedly being followed by a man.
Although a local man was questioned in connection with her disappearance, no charges were filed, and he was released.
Witness reports varied, with one individual mentioning seeing a gray van in the area, possibly linked to her abduction. However, these leads did not yield significant breakthroughs. Authorities believe that Jackie was abducted, but despite extensive searches and investigations, no solid clues have emerged over the years. Jackie had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing blue pants and a white shirt with orange and lavender flowers at the time of her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved, with her family continuing to seek answers decades later.Last Seen: Sep 12, 1981
