Trying to find more and not finding much.

Unfortunately, she has a common name. I'm searching Ancestry and seeing two Kay Collins in different AR yearbooks-- one in Marshall, AR and one in Crosett, AR. Neither location is in the same area as where she went missing. Marshall is about 55 miles from Mountain Home. Crosett is very far away-- the opposite side of the the state and 273 miles so it seems less likely that one is her. The Marshall one seems more likely to be her but I don't have any info on if she was from AR or if she had moved there from out of state. There are MANY other Kay Collins around the right age in other states. I'm also not sure Collins is her maiden name or if she ever married. Feel like I've hit a brick wall without more info. Need some other genealogists/researchers to look into this and figure out if the one in Marshall, AR yearbooks could be the missing Kay Collins.

This is a tough one, wonder if her name is backwards Ilene Kay instead of Kay Ilene .. just saying I see more Kay Ilene vs Ilene Kay .. who knows. The Collins I found in Mountain Home were originally from Illinois read through a few obits nothing on an Ilene Kay. Collins maybe a married name ... I'm just as stumped.

There are no pictures of her on the internet. Nothing about her family or if they searched when she first went missing.

I have done some deep research and I'm also hitting some brick walls. Some questions: who reported her missing? How do we know her hair color and eyes? I tried the suggestions of Ilene Kay Collins and a wealth of information comes up, but the birth date is off. Most are 1946 and later. Are we sure she was 33? Kay can be short for Katherine and Kay could be a middle name. In my personal opinion, I think she moved to Arkansas, but was born elsewhere.

Police reopen 1978 disappearance of Kansas woman with Arkansas ties

"As the investigation progressed it became clear that she may have not been last seen in Kansas… that she was actually seen in Bald Knob, Arkansas [or] she may have gone to Little Rock and then maybe to Memphis," Howard said.

The investigation is taking a step forward searching places where family members think Kay's body could be, including around the house formerly owned by her ex-husband…
