Details of Disappearance​

Kim was last seen on the evening of June 8, 1981. She had recently moved from her father's home on Eggert Road in Dundee, Michigan to her mother's residence on Beaufort Drive in Canton. She was in Canton for only about a week when she vanished.

She was last seen at the ice cream parlor near Sheldon Road and Ann Arbor Road. Kim's best friend worked there and the girls made plans to meet at Haggerty Field in Hines Park that night. She never arrived at the park and has never been heard from again. She wasn't reported missing for several days, and her mother refused to cooperate with the investigation.

Kim's loved ones described her as a rebellious teenager who used drugs and frequently ran away in 1981, but they stated there were no major issues in her life. Much of her family lived in the Ida, Michigan area, and she spent weekends with an aunt there.

In 2018, authorities announced Arthur Ream was a possible suspect in Kim's case and in the disappearances of Cynthia Coon, Kimberly King, Nadine O'Dell and Kellie Brownlee. A photo of Ream is posted with this case summary.

He was convicted of sexual assault in the 1970s and, in 1986, murdered Cindy Zarzycki, a thirteen-year-old girl who was dating his son. He was convicted of her murder and afterwards, in 2008, he lead authorities to her body, which was buried in a shallow grave 30 miles from Detroit, Michigan.

While in prison, Ream reportedly told cellmates he was serial killer with four to six victims. In May 2018, police began digging at the same property where Cindy had been buried, expecting to find the bodies of other missing girls there. No human remains were located, however, and the digging stopped after a week. Ream died of cancer in prison in August 2024.

Kim's father died in 2005, but other relatives are still looking for her. She had no driver's license or Social Security number at the time of her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.

New clip of her brother talking about the case after Arthur Ream's death in September 2024. He is holding a picture of Kim that I have not seen before, and he is questioning why the county is not finishing the dig. You can tell he is very broken up over Kim and all the other girls who could be connected to Reams. He brings up that he wishes his family had cared more about Kim.

Brandon was kind enough to give me access to this photo of Kim. This is what she looked like in the summer of 1981. <3

Kim Larrow disappeared more than 40 years ago. Canton police search for answers in cold case

Kim Larrow was last seen June 8, 1981, at a Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor near Sheldon and Ann Arbor roads.

www.hometownlife.com

''Kim was last seen June 8, 1981, at a Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor near Sheldon and Ann Arbor roads where her friend was working. The pair had plans to meet up later that night at Haggerty Field in Hines Park, but Kim never showed and no one ever heard from her again.

Investigators say some evidence indicates Kim may have died at the hands of convicted child killer Arthur Ream, but after years of searching, no trace of her has ever been found. Ream died in prison in 2024.''

'While investigators say there’s no solid evidence linking Lucy Larrow to her daughter’s disappearance, her refusal to cooperate meant she was never fully ruled out.'

Love that she is finally getting some long overdue, much needed attention!
