Couldn't see an existing thread, on this case - apologies if I've overlooked it.

The FBI have recently joined the investigation into the 1997 murder of 15 year old Kristy Leigh Yates in Hot Springs, Arkansas, as the case approaches it's 25th anniversary, offering a significant new reward on top of that previously offered by Kristy's family.

KRISTY LEIGH YATES — FBI

Kristy was last seen at the Hot Springs Mall - April 25th 1997, apparently a day after her father last saw her. Kristy had habitually been playing truant from school, and a mall employee witnessed her in some sort of altercation with another individual.

Her body was found the next day in the Sleepy Valley area, a rural area north of Hot Springs, with law enforcement characterising her killing as both "brutal" and "extremely violent".

WATCH: ‘We’re gonna get you’

Other than a few recent articles about the FBI's fresh focus I've found scant little online.
