This flyer--originally posted in Burkittsville and surrounding towns on October 28, 1994--was redistributed with the discovery of the students' footage in October of 1995. Over the next six months, more than 100,000 copies were proliferated among law-enforcement personnel and missing children's groups nationwide. Burkittsville Sheriff Ron Cravens estimates his department received "darn-well several hundred" phone calls concerning possible sightings of the students, from locations as distant as Portland, Oregon.

No significant leads were generated as a result of this flyer.
