Details of Disappearance
Jackie's family discovered she was missing as they prepared for an outing in Shawnee County, Kansas on September 12, 1981. She was last seen walking away from the Colfax and Golf Park in Topeka at 4:00 p.m. She was apparently being followed by a man at the time. She has never been heard from again.
Authorities did not begin searching for Jackie for four hours after her disappearance was reported. Police picked up a local man that same night and questioned him for hours about Jackie's disappearance, but released him without charge.
Jackie lived with her parents and four older siblings in the 3000 block of Colfax in southeast Topeka in 1981. She was a kindergarten student at Avondale East Elementary School. Her mother died in 2007. Authorities believe she was most likely abducted, but few clues available in her case.

Thoughts? Just an additional note I was able to read the 2021 article at first but then it told me I had to be a subscriber. The Charley Project description seems succinct enough though.
