Star Gail Boomer, 39, disappeared from Uncle Mike’s Bar in Kansas City, Kansas, on a Tuesday afternoon in February 1999. She had gone to the bar with her roommate, who left and planned to return; the roommate was later told Star had left with two men. Witnesses at the bar say a violent confrontation occurred: they describe Star being knocked unconscious, dragged out by two men, and placed into a vehicle. The roommate reported her missing on February 28, 1999, and investigators think she may have been killed inside the bar and taken elsewhere.

In October 1999 two men, William Eugene Geno Spradlin and Robert Franklin Butch Horn, were charged with second-degree murder, but the case was dismissed when witnesses refused to testify. Another patron that night, Shon Pernice, said he had rendered aid; he was later convicted of killing his own wife but has not been identified as a suspect in this disappearance. The investigation was cold for years before being reopened in 2017; a 2019 ground-penetrating radar search of a lot connected to a former boyfriend showed anomalies but produced no conclusive evidence.

Star was a mother to a young son and is presumed dead. Did anyone who was at Uncle Mike’s that night or who knew Star notice anything unusual before she vanished?
