Margaret Mae Tighe, 33, of Manhattan, Kansas, was last seen November 24, 1998. Her live-in boyfriend, Michael D. Klingsieck, told police he dropped her at the intersection of US-24 and McCall Road in Manhattan. Family reported her missing on December 10, 1998, after several weeks without the regular contact they expected.

Tighe and Klingsieck had a history of domestic problems. Investigators found unspecified evidence when they searched the couple’s home; Klingsieck gave statements that contained inconsistencies but was not treated as a suspect after passing a polygraph. Foul play is strongly suspected, yet no remains or concrete leads have been reported. A $5,000 reward was offered by the governor for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Anyone who knew Margaret, saw her around November 24, 1998, or has information about her whereabouts is asked to come forward.
