Kattie Nicole Talbert was 16 when she ran away from her uncle Earl Jones’s home in Klamath Falls, Oregon, in May 1998 and has not been heard from since. She was described as having blonde or strawberry-colored hair, hazel eyes, standing 5 feet 5 inches and weighing about 120 pounds. Before she left, she talked about a male who reportedly lived near a park by the Dairy Queen on East Main Street, but no name or further identifying details about him were provided.

The case began as a runaway report and later remained classified as a long-term missing person investigation. Does anyone who lived in Klamath Falls in 1998 or knew Kattie or the area near East Main Street have information that could help clarify what happened?
