Kimberly Ann Riley was 19 and a mother of two when she was last seen by her family on December 20, 1998, in Lorain, Ohio. Family members say she missed the family Christmas gathering, and the last reported sighting was on December 23 by the mother of her boyfriend, Omar Seymore, who said Kimberly dropped the children off and went to a mall in Elyria but never returned for them.

Investigators and family found Kimberly’s apartment on Cooper Foster Park Road decorated for the holidays but missing several items: blankets, two photo albums of the children, and a large plastic kitchen trash bin. Her medication for a blood disorder, toothbrush and groceries were left behind, while most of Seymore’s belongings were gone.

Seymore disappeared around the same time and was located in California in 2004; he was never criminally charged in Kimberly’s disappearance, though a civil judge later found him liable for her death in a suit he did not contest. Law enforcement and family believe Kimberly is deceased, but the case remains officially unsolved. Does anyone who knew Kimberly, her movements in late December 1998, or the people in her life have information that could help clarify what happened?
