Charlene Denise Knapp, who went by Denise and was 47, vanished from Kinder, Louisiana, after finishing a 10-hour shift on the evening of December 3, 2001. She was last seen when her live-in boyfriend, Ted Boyett, picked her up; neither has been seen since. Authorities believe they returned to their shared home that night but nothing definitive is known after that.

The house suggested an abrupt departure: their vehicle was still parked outside and most personal items remained, including Knapp’s purse, Boyett’s wallet and recent paychecks. A chicken left to thaw in the sink suggested plans for a meal. Investigators found a television, VCR, computer, table and telescope missing. Four days later Charlene’s credit card was used at the pump to buy gasoline in Jeanerette, about 100 miles away, but no one was identified from that transaction.

Law enforcement classifies the pair as endangered missing and believes foul play is possible, but investigators say there is very little evidence to proceed with. If anyone knew Denise or Ted, or was in Kinder or Jeanerette in early December 2001 and remembers relevant details, can you share what you know?
