Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP27389) and 11 other sources
Margaret Mae Tighe, a 33-year-old woman from Manhattan, Kansas, was last seen on November 24, 1998. Her live-in boyfriend, Michael D. Klingsieck, claimed to have dropped her off at the intersection of US-24 and McCall Road in Manhattan. Tighe was reported missing by her family on December 10, 1998, after they had not heard from her for several weeks, an unusual situation given her regular contact with them.

At the time of her disappearance, Tighe and Klingsieck had a history of domestic issues, but despite inconsistencies in his statements, he was not considered a suspect after passing a polygraph test. Authorities searched the couple’s home and reportedly found evidence, though details were not publicly disclosed. Foul play is strongly suspected in Tighe’s case, but no remains or concrete leads have emerged over the years.

A $5,000 reward was offered by the Kansas governor for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance, but her case remains unsolved.
