Opp, Alabama is about 45 miles southwest of Ozark. On the night of August 15, 1997, 17-year-old Kemberly Ramer vanished from her home in Opp.
Though MSM reports are a total mess when it comes to reports of that night's timeline, it is known that Kemberly attended a softball game that evening, then spent time at her boyfriend's house with her boyfriend and other friends, then drove the five minutes home. An online post by Kemberly's mother states that Kemberly would have been alone in the house at the time.
Kemberly's car was found in the driveway and there was possible evidence of a struggle in her bedroom. Her personal belongings were left behind, including her glasses, contacts, jewelry, and money. Foul play is suspected. Her boyfriend and all family members have been ruled out as suspects.
Kemberly has never been found.

Similarities to the Beasley-Hawlett case:
- Both crimes took place in SE Alabama.
- Both crimes took place in August.
- All three victims were 17 years old.
- All three victims had dark hair.
- All three victims had been driving shortly before the crimes were committed.
- All three victims were about to start their senior years of high school.
- Some MSM timelines state 11:00 p.m., 11:45 p.m., and 12:00 midnight as key times in the Ramer case. Beasley and Hawlett were last seen alive at 11:30 p.m.
- The victims' valuables and belongings were left behind and untouched in both cases, leading to the belief that robbery was not a motive.
- The victims in both cases were last seen alive getting into their vehicles and driving away.
- In the Ramer case, two tips were called in directing LE to the location of Kemberly's remains, leading to a search of a rural lake on Kemberly's birthday. J.B. Beasley was murdered on her birthday.
