I found this website and thought it might prove interesting as it ties in to a case about a Jackie Hay.
Quote from the article:
. . . On or about September 14th 1981, I was stopped on my way home from my mother's house by detectives and again taking to the police station for some type of questioning. This time the questioning evolved around the disappearance of a five-year-old child Jackie Hay. I was released the same day.

hmmmm pretty interesting. kind of confusing...thanks for the info!
It was from a website that claims to expose injustice in the justice system and it offers up several stories to support its claims. The search engine I was using ignored all that and just brought me to the pages that included the name in my search terms. I did not post the homepage of the website since it seemed unrelated to the search term which was the name of the missing child.
 
The only article I ever found that so much as mentioned Jackie was about an unrelated case where they used an Amber Alert, and the local sheriff said he wished there had been an Amber Alert at the time Jackie disappeared, cause they might have found her.
 
At the risk of telling you something you may already know:
There is a cold case thread for this case at

and in researching the case I found

A Topeka, Kansas man is reminded of his own missing daughter after hearing the news of two missing boys reunited with their families.

The father of Jackie Hay speaks out more than twenty-five years after her disappearance.

"She wasn't old enough to be bad. She was a sweet kid," remembers Olen Hay.

He still recalls the day his five-year-old daughter, Jackie Dene Hay, went missing.

"I was getting ready to leave and couldn't find her," says Hay.
The only information police had to go on was given to them by a Gas Service man who saw Jackie following a man. But Hay says police took nearly four hours to begin their search.

"By the time that it took for the police to investigate, he could have been almost to St. Louis."

Hay says he wishes the Amber Alert system would have been in place back in 1981.

Topeka Police Get Tip in Kidnapping Cold Case

TOPEKA, Kan. - The 1981 abduction of a 5-year-old girl from her family's Topeka home remains unsolved, but investigators may have something new to go on. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the city-county Crime Stoppers hotline recently received at least one call with a tip about the kidnapping of Jackie Hay. But police Detective Doug Searcy told the newspaper Wednesday that investigators need to talk to the tipster again.

I discovered this case many years ago as an adult and it has always been in the back of my mind. Mainly because I feel that this could have easily been me. I am the same age as Jackie Hay would have been (I was born in 1976 as well). I lived in Lenexa, KS when I was 5 and looked A LOT like Jackie (small, blonde hair, blue eyes). I vividly remember a time when I was walking down the street alone in my neighborhood, when I was 5 years old, and having a large brown car with 2 men in it drive past me while watching me, circle back around and pull up next to me. I was terrified and ran toward the houses and ran straight home. They drove off. To this day I still think about this, and wonder what could have happened if I had not been scared and run home. Then when I read about Jackie, it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It hit really close to home. I have often wondered if maybe it was connected.
