Summary

In September of 1981, the missing child’s case of 3-year-old Ryan Nicole Burton shook the small town of Breckenridge, Texas. Abducted from her crib as her babysitter slept, Ryan’s disappearance spurred an immediate search by various law enforcement agencies and 1,000s of Breckenridge residents. But there was no sign of the missing little girl anywhere, not a single clue left behind by her kidnapper. Tips that included sightings were abundant, and suspects questioned, but police couldn’t catch a break in the investigation and Ryan Burton’s parents anguished with uncertainty as they grasped onto the hope that their daughter would be found alive.

If you have any information about the Ryan Nicole Burton case, please call Stephens County Crime Stoppers at (877)500-TIPS or (877)500-8477
