Karen Rae Bosta was 39 when she vanished from Edenton, North Carolina, on May 30, 2015. She told her mother she was running errands and meeting friends, sent a later text saying she’d be home early, and was last seen about 10:00 p.m. leaving the Food Lion on North Broad Street after making three transactions on her mother’s credit card. She required daily medication for a mental health condition and cognitive impairment; the medication can cause severe side effects if stopped abruptly.

A week after she disappeared, Karen’s red 1997 Lincoln Continental was found locked and abandoned in an Edenton shopping center parking lot about a mile from the Food Lion; the car keys were missing. Her phone remained active until June 1, 2015. Cell records show she drove around town that day and visited the home of a man named Thomas Edward White Sr. White became a person of interest after using Karen’s mother’s Discover card the day after the disappearance; he said he found the card on his porch and later pleaded guilty to obtaining property by false pretense.

Authorities have described the disappearance as uncharacteristic and suspect foul play, but the case remains unsolved and a reward has been offered. If anyone knew Karen, saw her the night of May 30, 2015, or has information about her movements or the abandoned vehicle, please come forward.
