Karol Marlene Sullens, an 18-year-old woman, was last seen on the night of August 31, 1991, outside the Valley of the Dolls nightclub in Galena, Kansas, where she worked as an exotic dancer. During a break, Karol was spotted talking to an unidentified man near a dark-colored pickup truck with a camper shell. Shortly afterward, she disappeared, leaving her purse and other personal belongings behind inside the club. She has not been seen since.
Authorities initially believed that Karol died from a drug overdose that night and that her body may have been hidden by individuals involved with drugs. In 2001, two men, Donald Kidwell and Donald Davis, were charged in connection to her case. According to Davis, Karol had passed out in their vehicle, and Kidwell carried her into a wooded area, after which Kidwell returned without her.
Despite extensive searches in Kansas and Oklahoma, including investigations in abandoned mine shafts, her body was never found.
Kidwell later pleaded guilty to battery and obstruction of official duty in relation to the case, though he denied intending to cause Karol's death. Investigators continue to search for her remains, and various theories exist about where she might be buried. Despite the legal proceedings, Karol’s disappearance remains a mystery.Last Seen: Aug 31, 1991
