Stephanie Kay Fladgard, known as Steph and sometimes using the surname Kenet, was 43 when she was last seen in Castle Rock, Colorado, on October 18, 1996. She failed to report for her reliable job at a local gas station on October 22 and was never heard from again. In the weeks after her disappearance some of her personal belongings turned up discarded around Castle Rock and nearby Parker, a detail that led investigators to conclude her disappearance was likely not voluntary.

Investigators found she had recently been involved in several violent altercations with different men, and that a man identified as Keith Carl Jones had stalked her for about three months before she vanished. Jones had a Colorado criminal history in the 1990s and 2000s, including a 1997 guilty plea for a sex crime. In late 2025 Jones was arrested in Tombstone, Arizona, on multiple felony counts; the Castle Rock Police Department traveled to Arizona afterward and the case was reopened.

The case remains an unsolved, endangered missing person investigation. Did anyone in Castle Rock or Parker in 1996 recall seeing Steph, her belongings, or anyone following her in the weeks before October 18?
