[@jenniferszad2222]

I. AM. SHAKING. Dean Runkle was my 8th grade science teacher in Amherst, OH in the mid-1990s. I knew the name seemed so eerily familiar. He was honestly one of the most passionate, involved, respectable, unassuming teachers I’d ever known- or so it seemed. Back then, he would have been the kind of man any little girl would trust. I’m going to lose sleep over this story. Kendall, thank you so much for bringing light to this case. Rest in peace, sweet Amy.

[@heybelle__]

It’s so interesting to hear your take on him!! Especially because Amy inherently seemed to trust him on the phone (even though she thought it was a coworker of her mother’s) and that other kids who saw them at the plaza thought he could have been her father. That’s exactly the kind of interaction a seasoned teacher might have with a child 😕

You really don't realize how much is affected when someone's life is taken. Her brother never got to build that relationship with her, never got to be an uncle to her possible future children. Her parents marriage didn't make it. Her mother fell into alcoholism. Trauma on top of trauma. And for what? Because a sick person decided her life wasn't of importance. It just breaks my heart and I can't even begin to imagine how her family feels/felt. I hope she gets her justice.

[@screamqueen1946]

Makes me even more sick that so many times all this pain & trauma is inflicted cuz some sicko thinks getting his rocks off is more important than women & little girl's lives, it's sooo often the motive & it makes me so angry & breaks my heart.

[@lovelyrabbyt666]

This makes me think of something my mom used to say. When I was younger, she would tell me there is a reason she doesn’t have those stick figure family stickers on the car with everyone’s name. Someone could knock on the door and use such a small amount of info such as the names of the children and parents in order to establish trust with the child and pretend to know their family. Like saying “Hey Tommy, Hi Ashley! Your mom Diane told me to come get you right away. There’s an emergency!” or something like that. And kids are generally trusting. They are taught to stay away from strangers, but what about people who they vaguely know or predators who know how to build that trust and take advantage of it? It was such a different time then. Thanks Kendall for everything you do, and for bringing attention to this case again. For Amy, her family, and her mother who passed with no closure, I will be wishing them all of the peace and happiness in the world.

[@heatherk5567]

I was a little more than 3 years older than Amy. I was a latch key kid, locked out and I did go with a lady who worked with my Mom and I knew her. I got in so much trouble when my Mom got home. Fast forward a year I had a school sweater with my name on it. Locked out again, this time was playing with friends. A guy approached us and called to me and said My sister hurt her ankle again and wanted me to go behind the church and help her get home. I didn't know him, friends and I ran to their house and their Grandma called the police. All I remember after that is my Mom cutting up my favorite sweater. I was in 2nd grade. It's scary how gullible kids can be. I hope Amy gets justice.

[@Tallie602]

I saw a tip where you can ask the person for the code word to know if they really are there for them. Although I would personally never send someone they never met to pick them up. But at least if they ask for a code word, the predator would be thrown off? I don’t know people are sick nowadays so it’s really hard. All you can do is prepare your children as much as you can🥺

Exactly! My mom lived in Lancaster at the time (quite a ways away from Bay Village), but one of her sisters lived in Elyria.

My dad was questioned by the FBI the week of this abduction. He was seen with a little girl getting into his car at the mall and someone wrote down his license plate number and reported it to the cops. So the local police called him and asked, "Where you at the mall earlier this week? He said, "No-- I havent been to the mall in years." The FBI showed up to our house and questioned him for about a half hour. The thing is... a few days earlier my mom made him pick up my little sister at a restaurant whose parking lot happen to spill over into the mall's parking lot. This is why he flatly denied ever being "at the mall." Well, the FBI made him show a picture with him and my sister together and they even interviewed her alone: "Is this man really your father?"

[@cj597]

Because nothing actually links him with the murder, other than people saying they saw him and the police connecting him with the sanctuary etc - as Kendall said this is circumstantial evidence. If you try to charge someone on circumstantial evidence and it falls through, it weakens your case even if you eventually get usable evidence. I think even if they found something of hers in his storage lockup, a good lawyer would get him scot-free. They need to be finding his car and looking for blood stains, even a murder weapon, or pulling DNA evidence from somewhere, to charge him successfully. It really is maddening because it’s obvious he’s done it.

I really started crying when the dad was saying that once her birthday had passed, he knew in his heart he'd never see her again...💔 so heartbreaking oh my god...

This is an example of excellent police work, mobilizing quickly, and community support. EVERY missing person deserves to be treated like this, especially missing children. My tax dollars go to the police to serve and protect, not for victims to be ignored and dismissed.

It seems like Dean Runkle did it according to what you said. Especially when he asked if Amy was on the news yet. Amy’s friend said that Amy’s death did kill her mother. She had a broken heart. This story is so sad.

I am so glad you covered this case! My husband grew up in Bay Village and knew her brother. It really shook their community.

When I was a kid and I answered the phone, a lot of people my mom worked for thought I was her, but I don’t know how you have any sort of conversation with someone without knowing who it is. If he had intentionally tried to speak to Margaret and mistaken Amy to be her mom, wouldn’t she have said that her mom wasn’t home or something? It’s suspicious that he wouldn’t know whether he had spoken to Amy or not

I have an awful feeling that Dean did it….way too much evidence of him being around her or access to her information! That’s horrible! I remember this case when I was little! God Bless this family!
