Catherine Clampitt was 27 when she moved from Texas to Overland Park, Kansas, in early 1987 to live with her brother’s family and take a job with management consulting firm Equi II. Of Korean descent, she left her young son with her parents. The position, offered by company owner John Edward Robinson Sr., involved frequent travel and overnight hotel stays.

On June 15, 1987, Catherine left for work and never returned. Her brother searched for her and even confronted Robinson, who said he was aware of the search. Catherine vanished without a trace and her family spent years with the case cold.

After Robinson’s 2000 arrest on unrelated charges, investigators found multiple bodies hidden in barrels on property he rented and reopened Catherine’s case, naming Robinson the prime suspect. Robinson was convicted in 2002 for murders of other women, but he was never charged in Catherine’s disappearance and her body has not been located.

Does anyone have memories of Catherine in Overland Park or information about her movements in June 1987?
