Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5007) and 10 other sources
Kimberly Marie Blackburn, a 24-year-old from Indianapolis, Indiana, was last seen on May 29, 1983, when she left her parents' home and never returned. On July 17, 1983, she made a brief phone call to a friend from a truck stop in Arkansas, stating she was on her way back to Indiana. However, she never arrived, and her family has not heard from her since. Kimberly had a history of extended absences but always made a point of contacting her family, especially around her father's birthday. When she failed to call on October 23, 1983, her family became gravely concerned.

Kimberly’s life prior to her disappearance was marked by challenges. She had been involved in drug and alcohol-related offenses and had a history of prostitution. She was known to frequent truck stops and often used a CB radio to contact drivers. Kimberly had a distinctive appearance, including a keyhole-shaped pupil in her right eye and tattoos on her body, which could help in identifying her.

Despite rumors that she might have died in a Wisconsin hospital, there has been no confirmation of her whereabouts or fate. Her case remains unsolved, with her family and authorities still seeking answers decades later.

Last Seen: May 29, 1983
