Our card this week is

is Jay Dernal, the two of hearts from Nebraska.

In the spring of 1976, Jay was having an afternoon that most 11 year old boys would dream of,

hanging out with his dog, shooting his BB gun down at the river.

But an encounter with someone would cut Jay's perfect day and life short.

For nearly 50 years, not only has Jay's killer gone unidentified,

but Jay's story has gone virtually untold.

The details of his case have been lost to time, or at least, that is, until our reporting

team traveled to Omaha, Nebraska earlier this year and asked detectives to dust off

his case file, literally, so we could review it. And what they found will have you screaming out of frustration yeah a little but mostly out of

excitement because we might have found the thing that solved this half century old case. I'm Ashley to see. Oh, It was home

29th, 1976 and Wanda Dernall was home planning a scavenger hunt that was set to take

place in her neighborhood that weekend as part of her house-n 11 year old son Jay had just moved into a new house in the Riverside Lakes

community about 10 minutes west of Omaha and they were excited to welcome all

their friends to the neighborhood that Saturday. Around 8 p.m. Wanda was working at the kitchen table when Jay stormed in and ran

upstairs to his room. Wanda isn't around anymore, but some of her words are. In a, she wrote, there is a chapter about Jay.

And here's a voice actor reading an excerpt.

He came back down, two steps at a time,

then ran out the door.

Before he disappeared, I said, hey, Jay, wait a minute, where are you going?

It's almost dark.

Jay said his new friend had a pellet gun.
