Karen Sue Hurst

Hurst, circa 2003
Hurst was last seen at approximately 1:20 a.m. on August 6, 2003, in the vicinity of the 700 block of north 7th Street in Kansas City, Kansas. She had been jailed on a drug charge and disappeared a short time after her release.
Hurst's family was initially unconcerned by her absence because they thought she was in a thirty-day inpatient drug rehabilitation program. They reported her missing when they didn't hear from her after the thirty days had passed.
At the time of her disappearance, Hurst was involved in drugs and prostitution, and was known to associate with a drug dealer in Wichita, Kansas. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.
