On November 1, 2017, 38-year-old Glenna Bullard was last seen in Lincoln, Kansas, near the intersection of Kansas Highway 18 and Kansas Highway 14. She had told people she was planning to return to Texas to visit her two daughters, whose birthdays were in November. It was rumored that she was heading to Texas, but she never made contact with her relatives there. Around the time she vanished, Glenna was seen traveling in a blue, single-cab pickup truck.
Concern grew when she failed to contact her daughters for their birthdays, which was uncharacteristic of her. Her family officially reported her missing on November 2, 2017.
The investigation into Glenna's disappearance began with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. As the weeks turned into months with no sign of her, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation was asked to join the case on February 26, 2018. Investigators learned that Glenna had moved to Lincoln from Texas with a boyfriend and had only been living in the small Kansas town for a couple of years, meaning she did not have a large network of close friends or family in the immediate area. The last known images of Glenna were captured in the last week of October 2017, showing her making purchases at a Dollar General in Lincoln and a Walmart in Salina. The blue pickup truck she was associated with was eventually located, but it provided no clues to her whereabouts.
The circumstances surrounding Glenna's disappearance remain shrouded in uncertainty. One piece of information that emerged was that she may have planned to get a ride to Texas with a truck driver, but the identity of this individual, or if this arrangement ever happened, remains unknown. Her family has shared that Glenna struggled with addiction, a factor that authorities consider in her case. Without a crime scene or clear evidence of foul play, the investigation has been challenging. Her case is now included in the Kansas cold case playing cards distributed in jails and prisons, with the hope that someone with information will come forward. The official investigation remains open, as her family and two daughters continue to hope for answers and some form of closure regarding the loving mother who seemingly vanished without a trace.Last Seen: Nov 1, 2017
