Karen Kamsch was 14 when she was last seen in Pasadena, Maryland, on June 1, 1976. She left home to visit a friend but never arrived, and her family reported her missing when she did not return or make contact. At the time she was described as a responsible teenager with no history of running away.

Extensive searches in the days and weeks after her disappearance turned up no significant clues. Investigators considered abduction and other foul play, but the case eventually went cold. Karen’s family has continued to seek answers and law enforcement has asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone who knew Karen, her friends, or the neighborhood in Pasadena in 1976 have details that could help reopen leads?
