From Orlando Sentinel website:
A life-size portrait of Bob Armstrong's little girl sits on a dresser beside the TV in his bedroom.
"She's always right there," he said, looking toward the only school picture captured of his slain 6-year-old daughter.
Twenty-five years ago, a man with a broken lip who reeked of alcohol led Regina Mae Armstrong away from her baby sitter's courtyard and disappeared.
Less than two years later, a construction worker found a skull and a weathered sundress in an Oviedo housing development more than 15 miles from where she was kidnapped. Regina Mae was found, but her killer is still on the loose.
In the years since the happy-go-lucky kindergartner was abducted, the effect of her disappearance is still felt by her family and the Orlando police detectives who want her case solved.
"The key to solving this case is finding somebody who knows something," Detective Michael Moreschi said. "Either that, or [DNA] technology will finally have caught up with the crime."

Thoughts? Regina Mae's case was featured on America's Most Wanted's old website but unfortunately the archive link no longer works for it. The Orlando Sentinel article says the man believed to be the abductor had an oily smell like he was a mechanic who worked on cars. They also say he was in his 40's, wore a plaid shirt and old blue jeans and had a cut on his lip and stubble on his face. He chatted with them, left, and came back a half hour later. He then lured Regina Mae away from her playmates telling the others that he would give them each $2.00 to watch a door at another close-by apartment complex
