Nelson Jones was 11 when he was found murdered in his home at 101 East Second Street in Hope, Kansas, on the evening of October 27, 1990. That afternoon he had been seen riding his bike near 4:50 p.m.; his parents left him home alone while they took a day trip to Wichita and returned about 6:00 p.m. Finding the house quiet and Nelson missing, the family searched and his younger sister discovered him kneeling by his bed with his upper body on the mattress.

Investigators determined Nelson had been strangled. There were no signs of forced entry, prompting the belief he may have known his attacker and let them inside. The suspected ligature, described as a small cord or wire, was not recovered. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been made, and a $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who lived in Hope in 1990 or knew Nelson have information that could help solve this case?
