Gladys Stella Kidd, 71, disappeared from her home in the 3C Trail area of Morehead, Rowan County, Kentucky on August 6, 1990. When she left she took clothes and a filing cabinet but left most personal belongings at home. Her car was later found parked in town with the keys inside.

Family members have long questioned whether Gladys wrote it voluntarily. A granddaughter later said Gladys had a secret boyfriend in 1990 who refused to speak to relatives and whose identity was never revealed. There has been no activity on her Social Security number, no driver’s license renewal and no collected benefits, and investigators searched a septic tank on private property in 2007 without finding leads.

No evidence has emerged that Gladys started a new life, and the disappearance remains open and unsolved. Did anyone in the Morehead or Lexington area know Gladys or her described secret companion in 1990?
