With her family devastated and the community shaken by fear, Greeley police turned to the FBI for help. As leads ran cold, a determined grassroots movement emerged, refusing to let Jonelle be forgotten. Their tireless efforts caught the attention of the White House, prompting President Ronald Reagan to shine a national spotlight on Jonelle&#8217;s fate and champion the missing children&#8217;s national milk carton campaign in the hope that one day Jonelle would find her way home.<\/p>\n<p>For 35 years Jonelle&#8217;s disappearance remained one of Colorado&#8217;s unrivaled cold cases. In 2019, a grim discovery 20 miles from her home changed everything: Jonelle&#8217;s remains were unearthed, transforming a missing person case into a murder investigation. While this development finally offered answers, it also confirmed the heartbreaking truth the family had long feared but never wanted to face.<\/p>\n<p>Two decades before Jonelle&#8217;s remains were found, Angela Hicks was living with a dark suspicion.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4203780746\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Her then-husband, a true-crime enthusiast and Idaho gubernatorial candidate, had exhibited behavior that made her believe he was involved in Jonelle&#8217;s disappearance.

It wasn&#8217;t until a former classmate of Jonelle&#8217;s sister, now a detective, was assigned to the cold case and vowed to solve it that Angela&#8217;s secret came to light.<\/p>\n<p>In a reckoning like no other, Angela bravely came forward to share her story, breaking free from 20 years of silence and fear.
