Lawrence Daily Jornal World September 18, 1981 Topeka (AP) Police say the case of missing 5-year-old has all the earmarks of an abduction or kidnapping. Jackie Hay was last seen Saturday around 4 p.m. at the southeast Topeka home where she lives with her parents, Olen and Judith Hay, her two older sisters and two older brothers. Police and more than 200 community volunteers have searched and re-searched vacant houses and weed-filled fields near the Hay home. The searches have failed to yield any clues to the child's disappearance. Thursday, detective Sgt. Bill Beightel obtained a pair of Jackie's shoes and underwear in the hope that bloodhounds may be able to track her scent. Hay said, "It's like someone has just tied your hands and put a blindfold on you and put you in a hole. There's just nothing you can do to bring her back." But Hay, a self-employed laborer added, "I think she's with someone and is allright. If they'd just come back and leave her someplace, everything would be ok." The blonde, blue-eyed Jackie, a kindergarten student is described as 40 inches tall and weighing about 40 pounds. |

http://www.49abcnews.com/news/2007/jan/15/...25_years_later/ Girl still missing 25 years later Story by Liz Zamora (Contact) 7:28 p.m. Monday, January 15, 2007 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. The system went into effect statewide in 2002. It all began when children's advocate Jim Brewer saw the alert system featured on America's Most Wanted. "I said, 'Topeka needs something like this', and my wife smiled and said, 'you are going to do this aren't you?'" Brewer worked with the Police Department and Shawnee County Sheriff and eventually the Attorney General's office to bring the Amber Alert system to the state. He believe it's effective because it gets the word out so fast. "With everybody looking, it makes it tough to hide," says Brewer. He was ecstatic to hear the news about the two boys in Missouri who were reunited with their families, especially the one missing for four years "I'm glad they found this kid cause now he has a future." Hay says twenty-five years later, the hardest part is just not knowing. And Hay hopes that by telling his story, others will remember the children still missing.

September 15, 1981 Topeka Capital Journal SEARCH CONTINUES FOR MISSING GIRL Topeka and Shawnee County lawmen continued a scaled-down search Monday for a 5-year-old girl missing from her southeast Topeka neighborhood since Saturday. Investigators had few clues Monday as to the whereabouts of Jackie D. Hay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Olin Hay, 3124 Colfax. Jackie, who was wearing blue pants and a white knit shirt with orange and lavender flowers was playing with friends at Colfax and Golf Park before she disappeared, and was reported missing about 4:30 p.m, Saturday. The child's friends were unable to provide substantial leads to police. The child is described as 3 feet 1 inch tall and has blue eyes and blonde shoulder-length hair cut in a Dutch boy style. Asked Monday whether foul play was suspected, Topeka police Det. Lt. Bill McKinnon said, "I think she must be held against her will or someone would have seen or heard from her by now." Police picked up a man Saturday night who matched the description of a man the girl was seen following, and questioned him four hours before releasing him. The man lives in the area the girl resides. McKinnon urged landowners with vacant buildings or unoccupied property in search them in hope of finding the girl. On Monday, Topeka police investigators searched vacant residences at Trail Ridge Apartments, 2046 E. 11th Ter. and some apartments in the Eastboro area. For one and a half hours, three Shawnee County sheriff's deputies searched abandoned buildings and ditches along the east city-county border, but didn't find anything, a dispatcher said. The land bordered by E. 37th on the south, Adams on the east and Kansas avenue on the west has been explored for the missing girl, Det, Sgt. Bill Beightel said "I've done everything I know investigatively. The response by the public has been amazing." About 150 volunteers, including neighbors, and off-duty policemen and firemen, probed heavily wooded areas Sunday, hoping to find the girl, but found only clothing that was not hers. Late Saturday, about 200 persons walked from Adams to Colfax in a three-block long line. Neighbors living near the Hay home said residents in the area were nervous about the child's disappearance. "We're all on edge," Becky Coffman, 3129 Colfax said, "We're all scared for our own kids." Mrs. Coffman and her husband, Carl, helped search Saturday and Sunday for the missing girl. Mrs. Coffman, whose 3-year-old son was a friend of Jackie, said neighborhood children on the block Monday were playing outdoors only if parents were there to watch them. "We're all pretty upset," said Diana Schrenk, 3125 Colfax. It's pretty scary." Neighbors took up a collection in the Bryant, Colfax and Dupont neighborhoods to gather $77 for the Hay family. Students at Avondale East Elementary School, the school Jackie attends were upset at her disappearance. "They're all pretty hyper about this today," said Winfred Tidwell, school principal, "We're doing what we can to reassure them." Jackie's kindergarten teacher described her as a shy youngster who is a little small for her age. "I can't imagine her wandering away from home," Mrs. Madge McArthur said, "The other day, her brother Kyle asked me to keep her in the classroom until he could pick her up." Kyle also is a student at the school. "She likes to be with the other kids and gets along well with them," she said, "She has a worried little face. She's kind of baby-like, not babyish, she's not a complainer." |

http://z13.invisionfree.com/PorchlightUSA/...opic=1692&st=0& The Topeka Monday Capital Journal September 14, 1981 SEARCHERS STILL UNABLE TO FIND CHILD An estimate 150 people Sunday scoured heavily wooded areas in south east Topeka for clues in the disappearance Saturday of Jackie D. Hay, 5. But when all of the wooded areas near the girl's 3124 Colfax home had been searched and darkness fell on the city. Jackie's whereabouts were still a mystery to police. Although police said the girl's disappearance is still a missing persons case, they are not overlooking the possibility of foul play. One man was picked up for questioning late Saturday but was later released, said Maj. Frank Davis, Chief of Topeka's Police Department detective division. "We have some stories from neighbors she was following an adult male (before her disappearance Saturday)," said Davis. A man matching the description of the individual seen by the neighbors was questioned for about four hours before he was released. Jackie, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Olin Hay, had been playing with friends at Colfax and Golf Park before she disappeared. Police questioned the girl's young friends but they were unable to provide substantial leads, said Davis. Jackie, who has blue eyes and blonde hair was wearing blue pants and a white knit shirt with orange and lavender flowers, was reported missing about 4:30 p.m. When the search of wooded areas first began after dark Saturday, police were surprised by the overwhelming support and participation of the public. "It kind of makes you feel good," said Sgt. Ken Gorman. Gorman estimated 200 persons, shoulder to shoulder, walked in a three-block long line late Saturday, from Adams to Colfax searching for the girl as the police helicopter hovered above illuminating the search area. "I saw a lot of people who were out there at 3 a.m. (when the first search was called off) out at 10 a.m. again this morning," Gorman said Sunday afternoon. Davis said the giant search party included at least 25 off-duty police officers, sheriff's officers, volunteer firemen, off-duty Topeka Fire Department members, citezens band radio clubs, Capitol Area Security,block mothers, some national guardsmen, persons on horseback and dozens of citezens, young and old. In addition, the Red Cross had a van at the scene to provide refreshments for the searchers and Church's Fried Chicken sent free food. Det. Dennis Bachman said the crowd was broken into small groups with an off-duty officer attached to give directions, Bachman praised the work of the volunteers and expressed thanks for their efforts. During the intensive search of several square miles, the volunteers were unable to uncover any clues to the disappearance. "We found enough clothing to start a rummage sale," said Davis. But none of the numerous articles of clothing was identified by the girl's parents as belonging to their daughter. After the exhaustive search in 90 degree weather Sunday, the volunteers were sent home about 8 p.m. Mogge encouraged persons who live in the southeast area of the city to search their yards, vehicles, out buildings and heavily wooded or overgrown areas for the girl. He also requested taht persons living in any area of the city who have seen anything unusual or suspicious which may be connected to Jackie's disappearance contact the detective division at 354-1861. Davis said the most obvious areas where the child may have gotten lost or been trapped have been searched. Shouls police need further assistance from the public a plea will be made through newspaper, television, and radio messages, Davis said. |
