Kathrynn Sholly Seefeldt was 12 and a seventh-grade student at Osage Trail Middle School when she vanished from her home in Independence, Missouri. She was last seen the evening of October 14, 2002 after an argument with her mother; Kathrynn had been grounded and upset about not being allowed to attend a party. Around 1:00 a.m. that night a phone call came for her, and she told the caller not to call so late. The family’s landline lacked caller ID, so the caller’s identity remains unknown.

When her mother awoke the next morning Kathrynn was gone and a significant amount of her clothing was missing. Because Kathrynn had previously run away for short periods, her mother waited two days before reporting her missing. The mother believed Kathrynn may have been about five months pregnant and notes the girl had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for the day after she disappeared. Law enforcement initially treated the case as a possible runaway; with no confirmed sightings or contact since, foul play has been suspected as the silence lengthened.

The unanswered questions focus on the late-night call, the missing clothing, and the possible pregnancy. Does anyone who knew Kathrynn or lived in Independence then have information that could shed light on her whereabouts?
