(AP) – 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.
Searcy asked that anyone who called recently about the little girl’s abduction call Crime Stoppers again and identify themselves with the unique number assigned by the hotline. The number is 785-234-0007.
Jackie Hay was taken from the front yard of her home in southeast Topeka on Sept. 12, 1981.
