Karol Marlene Sullens was 18 when she vanished from Galena, Kansas, on the night of August 31, 1991. She was working as an exotic dancer at the Valley of The Dolls nightclub on 7th Street and was seen during a break in the club’s parking lot talking to an unidentified man near a dark-colored pickup truck with a camper shell. She left behind her purse and other personal items at the bar and was never seen again.

Karol was described as a white female, blonde hair, green eyes, 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 100 pounds, with a scar from an appendectomy and pierced ears. Authorities long suspected she died from a drug overdose the night she disappeared and that those who supplied the drugs concealed her body. In 2001 Donald D. Kidwell was charged with causing her death through reckless actions and another man, Donald E. Davis, was charged with aggravated battery and cooperated. In 2002 Kidwell pleaded guilty to battery and obstruction, received 18 months in prison and a $1,500 fine, and admitted responsibility for her death while denying sexual assault or intent. Karol’s remains have never been found and her family continues to seek answers.

Does anyone have information about Karol’s last known movements or about the dark pickup truck seen that night?
