Gloria Jean King was 42 when she disappeared in late summer 1996. On August 8 she was in Albuquerque and planned to travel to Farmington, driving separately from her former husband. They stopped for fast food near Grants and later pulled over in Milan to eat; after that stop the two lost sight of each other and Gloria was never seen again.

Gloria’s vehicle turned up abandoned at the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, a location well off the intended route to Farmington. No one saw Gloria at the hotel, and the account does not detail whether personal belongings were in the car. She is classified as an endangered missing person.

Gloria King is described as a Native American woman of Navajo descent, 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall, 110 to 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, eyeglasses, and a scar behind her left earlobe. If anyone knew Gloria’s travel plans that day or saw her car in Gallup, please share what you know.
