What the Morgan Nick breakthrough could mean for other Arkansas cold cases

Othram, a company operating an advanced DNA system, said it has worked thousands of cases now — a growing list that now includes Morgan Nick.

Othram played a big role in helping the case move forward. On Tuesday, the company spoke to 5NEWS about its work and how it may inspire hope that other decades-old cold cases can still be solved.

Othram's Chief of Staff Colby Lasyone said that the company, based in The Woodlands, Texas, works with law enforcement across the country to test and analyze DNA, creating profiles that can be used in identification.

We need more details on his whereabouts throughout the years, and that's something I have not been able to find online. Mid 90s-2000 in rural Arkansas (I'm from Northeast Ar) means there probably isn't much a searchable trail on him unless they get friends and family to talk. As far as the kids who saw the person they thought abducted her, I believe they were interviewed on Still Missing Morgan, so they have known Lincks face for a few years.

Have you searched Ancestry or newspapers.com? Look at census info.

Who knows, he could have has a son or accomplice lure them to the vehicle

His son Andrew Lincks is a known sex offender. In my opinion, Andrew resembles the suspect sketch a lot more than his father.

Question for those who may be close to this case. This is something that I keep wondering about and haven't seen any information about; Do we know if the river that Lincks was seen driving near the night of the abduction has been searched at length with cadaver dogs? If so, How far downstream did they go? Its possible she could be further downstream than where they originally searched and maybe need an extended search area? I'm fairly sure they did a visual search shortly after her abduction but have they ever used cadaver dogs there? Now I think the its even more important to search that area with dogs in hopes of finding her remains. Could they pick up a scent 25 years later?

This has to be a son of his, correct? If BJL was born in 1924, he'd be 43 in 1967...

So the named suspect would've been 71 at the time ?

That would be one of the oldest Ive ever seen in these type of cases.

Andrew Lincks in 2012 and 2023 along with Morgan Abductor Sketch from 1995 he would’ve been 26 when Morgan was abducted

In what attorneys on both sides deemed a bizarre case, a Bozeman man Wednesday was sentenced to a decade in prison for breaking into a woman’s home and raping her

The eye brows from the sketch and the most recent photo, eek. I would bet money he’s going to have involvement in one way or another. Also, the Bozeman article…10 years. It’s wild. To violently assault and rape someone, 10 years. Knowing he will 100% do it again. Someone out there going about their daily life, not knowing they will be his next victim. Who is the judicial system favoring here? Make it make sense

Just found back the poster describing the suspect, relevant to note the salt & pepper hair and the silver frame glasses

IMO he must have started much earlier. Also with other dysfunctional behaviours at younger age (eg drugs, alcohol)

This is the census document from 1930 showing his father’s occupation, which was furnace man in a zinc smelter industry

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GR44-66W?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AXMGN-TDJ&action=view

Probably far fetched, but I always wondered if LE looked at abandoned sites of zinc furnaces
Such as this one in Searcy, or the abandoned site of the Forth Smith Zinc Smelter, or (abandoned) mines.

I also felt that it was beyond incompetent that a local news station shared the debunked suspect sketch during the press conference rather than the correct sketch. Did anyone else notice that?

#BREAKING Alma Police have announced after new DNA testing they say a hair found in the truck of Billy Jack Lincks was Morgan Nick's when she was kidnapped 29 years ago.
