Kay McCoy, 57, was last seen around May 2012 in Jasper, Texas, where she lived with her daughter and son-in-law. Her family did not report her missing for months; the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services contacted authorities in October 2013 after Kay’s mentally disabled daughter, who lived in a care facility, said she had not heard from her mother. Kay’s bank also showed no activity for more than a year.

Kay was described as a survivalist and doomsday prepper and reportedly had a strained relationship with family. Her daughter said Kay sometimes disappeared for long periods without notifying anyone, but investigators found it suspicious that no vehicles were missing from the home and that Kay’s Social Security benefits went untouched after she vanished. In 2019 Kristina Hicks and Robert Hicks were charged with financial fraud for using Kay’s bank account after the disappearance; they remain persons of interest, but no conclusive evidence has linked them to Kay’s disappearance.

Kay McCoy remains missing and the case is unsolved. Does anyone in Jasper or who knew Kay have information about where she might have gone?
