Amy Renee Mihaljevic (December 11, 1978 - October 1989) was kidnapped and murdered in Ohio in 1989. The case remains unsolved.
[edit] Case history
On October 27, 1989, ten-year-old Amy Mihaljevic was kidnapped from the Bay Square Shopping Center in Bay Village, Ohio. The abductor had contacted Amy by telephone and arranged to meet her on the pretext of buying a gift for Amy's mother, who had recently been promoted. On February 8, 1990, Amy's body was found in a field off of County Road 1181, Ruggles Township in rural Ashland County, Ohio.
The Bay Village Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an extensive investigation into her disappearance and murder. Law enforcement continues to aggressively investigate this crime and is seeking any information that may lead to the identification, arrest and prosecution of the killer.
In 2005, Cleveland journalist James Renner reexamined this cold case in an article for Cleveland Scene. He requested that anyone with information related to this case contact him or the authorities at ([1]) Assisting Missing Youth (A.M.Y).
In October, 2006, publisher Gray & Co. released a book about Renner's investigation into the murder. It's called Amy: My Search for Her Killer. More comprehensive than the article for Cleveland Scene, the book revealed new suspects and clues which the police and FBI had kept secret for 17 years.
