Gwendolyn Sue King was 16 when she was last seen in Oklahoma City on September 1, 1982. Her sister says she was dropped off at the Greyhound bus station with a ticket for San Bernardino, California, where she was expected to meet her mother and enroll in high school. It is not confirmed whether she ever boarded the bus.

At the time she vanished Gwendolyn had long red or auburn hair, brown eyes, stood between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighed between 100 and 115 pounds. Family reports say she may have been unhappy about moving to California and did not want to leave friends behind. The clothing she wore that day is unknown.

Her mother’s attempts in 1982 to have Gwendolyn reported missing reportedly met with resistance, and a private investigator hired at the time did not locate her. The case was not officially documented for decades and only prompted a law enforcement investigation in 2022; the Oklahoma City Police Department is now handling the matter. If anyone in Oklahoma City or along the bus route remembers seeing Gwendolyn around September 1, 1982, please share what you know.
