Kimberley Sue Doss - USA

In this episode we bring you the strange story of Kimberly Sue Doss, who, at the age of 14, vanished whilst travelling home to her mother in Houston, Texas. Her disappearance is a mystery that has plagued her loved ones for over forty years. Kimberly’s parents were separated and she split her time between Texas and Iowa. Uprooting her life several times a year was putting a strain on her relationships so, one day in February, 1980, she ran away from home. Kimberly said she was getting a ride to school but instead, she took a bus to Davenport, where her father resided. In all truth, she preferred living in Houston but her closest friends, as well as her boyfriend, were in the Hawkeye State. Before long however, Kimberly grew tired of life as a runaway and contacted her mother, telling her she was coming back. The last time anyone heard from her, was a phone call explaining that she had met a girl named Kathy on the bus and would be staying with her during her stopover in Chicago. Kimberly never made it home. This episode hears from Kimberly’s sister Schelly, who explains the devastating impact her younger sibling’s absence has had on her family. She takes us through the wild theories that erupted in the wake of Kimberly’s disappearance, such as the suggestion that she was now living as a prostitute on Hollywood Boulevard and explains how the authorities mismanagement of missing person databases, impeded the search for her sister. This episode is supported by Doe Network.
