Karol Marlene Sullens was 18 when she vanished after a shift at the Valley of the Dolls nightclub in Galena, Kansas. She was last seen the night of August 31, 1991, talking with an unidentified man beside a dark-colored pickup truck with a camper shell during a break. Her purse and personal effects were left behind inside the club and she has not been seen since.

Authorities at first suspected a drug overdose and thought people involved with drugs may have hidden her body. In 2001 two men, Donald Kidwell and Donald Davis, were charged in connection with the case. Davis told investigators that Karol had passed out in their vehicle and that Kidwell carried her into a wooded area, returning without her. Searches in Kansas and Oklahoma, including abandoned mine shafts, turned up no remains. Kidwell later pleaded guilty to battery and obstruction of official duty but denied intending to cause Karol’s death.

Her remains have not been recovered and the disappearance remains unresolved. If anyone knew Karol, worked at the Valley of the Dolls, or saw a dark-colored pickup with a camper shell near the club on August 31, 1991, please come forward with information.
