Kathy Sue Wilson, 38, disappeared after leaving her Lincolnton, North Carolina home on July 9, 1996, to visit family in Greenwood, South Carolina. She was expected back on July 12 but never arrived at her relatives’ home and never returned. Kathy is described as a white female, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 8 inches, with a scar on her left arm.

Her car was reportedly found in a store parking lot along the route between Lincolnton and Greenwood, but that discovery produced no clear answers and there were no immediate signs of foul play at the scene. Family members noted she never refilled her medication after the trip, and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office investigated, but leads were scarce and the case eventually went cold.

If anyone has memories of seeing Kathy, her vehicle, or anything unusual along that route in July 1996, please share information that might help bring her family some answers.
