Janet Sue Kirkup, also known as Janet Sue Johnson, was 53 when she vanished from a cross-country RV trip that began in Jackson, Michigan. She was last reliably seen in the summer of 1992; family contact stopped after a visit to Robert’s relatives in Genesee County, Michigan. Janet was about five feet seven inches tall, 160 pounds, with long blond hair turning gray, blue eyes, long fingernails and often wore many rings.

Her husband Robert initially told the daughters Janet had run off with a wealthy man and was last seen at an airport hotel near Buffalo, New York. No independent evidence supported that story. Months later one daughter filed a missing persons report; police found no trace of Janet after the summer of 1992. Under questioning in 1999, Robert said he had strangled Janet during a fight on August 14, 1992, and buried her in woods outside Buffalo but could not give a precise burial site. Her body has never been located.

What details about the location and circumstances around the August 1992 killing might help pinpoint where she was buried? If anyone knew Janet, traveled with the couple, or has information about stops near Buffalo that summer, please share what is known.
