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



Thats interesting .. the mean age of the offender in the majority Child abduction murders is usually around 27 years of age at the time of incident.
 
IMO he must have started much earlier. Also with other dysfunctional behaviours at younger age (eg drugs, alcohol)
Usually, especially at that age, however 71 is still much older than the typical age range in Child abductions ,

Ive posted the common factors in Child abduction (murder) cases on here several times

In general the offender in these types of cases barring evidence to suggest a serial offender is usually around 27 at the time of the abduction, they are usually in the area for legitimate reasons, which is usually where they live or work (or traverse regularly) .
 
ALMA, Ark. —
New forensic technology has provided a significant development in the decades-old case of Morgan Nick. Othram labs, a forensic laboratory based near Houston, Texas, used advanced DNA analysis to examine a hair sample found in a vehicle formerly owned by Billy Jack Lincks, a suspect in the case.

On Tuesday, police confirmed that the hair, vacuumed from the vehicle, matches the DNA of Morgan Nick or someone closely related to her. Morgan Nick was abducted in 1995 at the age of six from a ballpark in Alma, Arkansas, and her case has remained unsolved for nearly 30 years.

Othram Labs used a method called “forensic-grade genome sequencing” to analyze the rootless hair. This technique allows scientists to extract and sequence DNA markers, even from samples that are too degraded or small for traditional DNA testing.

One thing that I bugs me is how the screenshot from the camcorder by the officer's Mom who filmed Morgan last has a different red truck than the one that is shown being searched on Still Missing Morgan. This was brought up right after the documentary was released and I've still seen no clarification.
 
Lincks age is really bothering me. I know the witnesses were children and it was dark, but surely the parking lot had some lighting or nobody would've let their kids play there, and I think kids would be able to differentiate between a youngish guy and a pensioner. One of the witnesses stated that Lincks was not the man she saw, I tend to believe her.

I just showed my kids, aged 11 and 9, the photo of Lincks and asked them to estimate his age, the oldest said around 60 and then the younger one decided 57 after he heard his brother say 60. My point being, they quickly surmised he was older, and definitely wouldn't have guessed a whole generation lower.

I don't doubt the DNA evidence, but I would want to be 100% certain that nobody else had access to Lincks truck that night.

As I said before, I believe Lincks' son was there that night. Whether or not Lincks was involved, he was still a nasty piece of work. Lincks' son is on the Sex Offenders' Registry and resembles the suspect sketch.
 
I also agree, the age description of the man witnessed in the parking with her bothers me as well.
Concerning Lincks, I believe he did not start his pedo activities at that older age, he must have started much earlier. I wonder if LE is looking into other unsolved cases or other abduction attempts.
