Kelly Frances McBride was 21 and a young mother when she was last seen at a party in her Northampton, Pennsylvania, apartment on February 18, 1984. She lived there with her husband, James, and their young son. She was described as having blonde or strawberry-colored hair, blue eyes, and freckles, and was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black leather-style jacket.

Her father reported her missing on March 23, 1984. Investigators later learned a neighbor had seen James McBride, his father, and the landlord removing a bloody mattress from the apartment in May 1984. A bureau found nailed shut in the residence contained blood and hair; DNA testing in 1993 matched that blood to Kelly. A grand jury in 1999 recommended charging James McBride; he was arrested in Florida, convicted of her murder in 2001 and sentenced to life. James McBride died in prison in July 2021 without revealing the location of Kelly’s remains.

Does anyone have information about Kelly’s last known movements or the location of her remains?
