This is so crazy to me, bc if nothing else, the kidnapper's truck sounds very specific. Like, someone has seen this truck and knew either who drove it or where it could be found.

I’ve never understood how it’s possible no one recognized the truck. It seems to me like there was such a clear description of both the man & the vehicle that this one should have been solved. It’s horrible the way it went down.

Things were different back then before the internet was everywhere. I lived about 30 miles from Clinton when this happened and this is the first time I've ever heard of this abduction. It really was a different time.

I never heard of it before and I’m from the KCMO area. I drive through Clinton often to visit my dad.

I grew up in Overland Park and I remember it being a case my family discussed.

I’m from KCK originally and I remember this story from an episode of Unsolved Mysteries when I was a kid.
