Kimberly Burns was 16 and living in Marshall, Texas, when she was last seen at about 5 a.m. on July 12, 2012. Her mother, Tewana Morris, saw her that morning at the family residence; Kimberly never returned and has had no contact with her family since. Authorities and family say Kimberly may have been picked up by someone and taken to an unknown location, possibly in the Longview area where many of her friends lived.

At the time she disappeared she was 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office investigated and the case remains open; despite public appeals no substantial leads have been reported and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone who knew Kimberly, her friends, or her movements in July 2012 can provide information, please contact the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office.
