## Resource

In the spring of 1997, seven-year-old DaNydia “Nee-Nee” Thompson vanished just steps away from her elementary school in Killeen, Texas. What began as a confusing absence quickly escalated into a full-scale search involving family, volunteers, soldiers from nearby Fort Hood, and law enforcement across Central Texas. Witnesses reported seeing a man call DaNydia by name before carrying her away in broad daylight. Despite thousands of tips and an intensive search effort, no trace of her was found, until eight days later, when her remains were discovered in a rural ditch outside the city. Nearly three decades later, DaNydia’s case remains unsolved. Investigators believe they may know who is responsible, but the key to justice may still lie with someone who has yet to come forward. If you have any information about the abduction and murder of DaNydia Betty-Jacqueline Thompson, please contact Bell County Crime Stoppers at 254-526-8477.
