Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33842) and 5 other sources
In early 2013, the family of Norma Jean Vincent lost contact with the 51-year-old woman, sparking a quiet mystery in Louisville, Kentucky. The last confirmed communication with Norma was on January 2, 2013. After that date, her voice fell silent, and she was not seen again. Concerned for her welfare, her family reported her missing to the Louisville Metro Police Department on April 2, 2013. The circumstances surrounding the beginning of her absence were not immediately clear, leaving her loved ones with unanswered questions and growing apprehension. Norma was known to sometimes use the last names Gilkey and Hudson.

At the time of her disappearance, Norma was described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes. She stood at a height of 5 feet 5 inches and weighed between 140 and 145 pounds. A photograph taken in 2008 shows her with darker hair, though it was noted that her appearance had aged by the time she was last seen. The lack of detailed information about what she was wearing or any personal items she may have had with her has made the investigation challenging for law enforcement. Her case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System but few details have emerged publicly.

The investigation into Norma Jean Vincent's disappearance has remained open, yet the specific details of the case are scarce. The Louisville Metro Police Department has been the primary agency handling her case. Over the years, there has been little to no public information released regarding any potential leads or persons of interest. The absence of new information has left her family in a painful state of limbo, holding onto hope for answers. The case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish, leaving behind a void of information and a family grappling with the unknown. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance, with a lack of substantial clues to trace Norma's last movements or determine her fate.
