Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29117) and 6 other sources
Kimberly Cozart, also known as Kimberly Harper, was a 14-year-old girl who went missing from Julian, California, in February 1977. At the time, she was living on Banner Grade Road. The circumstances of her disappearance are largely unknown, and she has not been seen or heard from since.

Kimberly's disappearance occurred two years after her mother, Joyce Harper, went missing in January 1975 from Potrero, California. Both Kimberly and Joyce were not reported missing until December 1995, when Kimberly’s sister finally alerted authorities. Despite this significant delay, it is unclear if the two disappearances are related, and both cases remain unsolved.

Kimberly was described as 5'0" to 5'3" tall, weighing around 100 to 120 pounds, with red/auburn hair and brown eyes. Her case is classified as endangered missing, and DNA samples have been collected in efforts to resolve the case. However, no substantial leads have emerged regarding her fate.
