Georgia Nadine Kirk, known to many as Nadine, was an elderly Bonanza, Oregon resident who vanished from public view around 2010. The last definitive trace is a check she signed in January 2010; neighbors estimated they hadn’t seen her for a couple of years when concerns were raised in summer 2015. Her son, Theodore Ted Kirk, told the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office in July 2015 that Nadine had left for California with a friend, initially saying he could not recall the friend’s name and later providing one. Searches in California turned up no sign of either woman.

Investigators found records showing Nadine suffered multiple strokes between 2004 and 2010, with the last calendar entry noting two strokes in early 2010. Friends recalled last seeing her about 2010 and described her as frail. From January 2010 through August 2015, monthly Social Security benefits were deposited into a joint account and withdrawn in cash each month by Theodore, who was later charged in August 2017 with stealing those benefits. Cadaver dogs alerted to an area of the Kirk property where a neighbor had reported seeing a pile of lime, but excavation found no remains. Theodore pleaded guilty to theft of government funds in 2018 and received 15 months in federal prison; he declined to disclose Nadine’s whereabouts when given time to do so.

Who in Bonanza or the surrounding area remembers Nadine after 2010 or has information that could help resolve where she went?
