Katherine Lynn Stobaugh, 43, of Sanger, Texas, was last seen on December 29, 2004, after visiting the farm of her estranged husband, Charles Stobaugh, to discuss their divorce. Charles said they had a tense conversation and that Katherine left his property around 10:00 p.m., driving away in her car. The next morning her vehicle was found parked outside his residence with the keys inside, but Katherine was missing.

Her family reported her missing on January 3, 2005, after she failed to show up at work as a teacher and had no contact with her children or relatives. Investigators found inconsistencies in Charles’s account; phone records did not support his claim of calling her several times. Authorities suspected foul play. Charles was later arrested in 2009 and charged with murder; prosecutors argued he killed her to avoid a costly divorce settlement. He was convicted in 2011 and given a 25-year sentence, but that conviction was overturned in 2014 for insufficient evidence.

Katherine’s body has never been found, and there has been no activity on her bank accounts or Social Security number since that December night. Does anyone have information about Katherine’s movements on or after December 29, 2004?
