Ten-year-old Amy Mihaljevic vanished from the Bay Square Shopping Center parking lot in Bay Village, Ohio, on October 27, 1989, after going to meet a man who had phoned claiming to be a coworker of her mother, Margaret Mihaljevic. Witnesses saw a girl matching Amy’s description speaking with an unidentified man near the entrance; she walked away with him and was never seen alive again.

On February 8, 1990, Amy’s body was found in a remote Ashland County field, almost 50 miles from Bay Village. Cause of death was a blow to the head, and investigators reported she had also been stabbed multiple times. Investigators believe the man who lured her to the shopping center was the same person who killed her.

An FBI profile released in 2016 describes a white male, 25 to 45 at the time of the crime, familiar with the Bay Village area and possibly living or working nearby. Despite thousands of leads and advances in DNA technology, no definitive suspect has been identified, and Amy’s family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Amy, saw her that afternoon, or has information about the man who contacted her, please come forward.
