Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22528) and 5 other sources
Kathleen Edna Rodgers, a 16-year-old girl, was last seen on March 3, 1973, in Oroville, California. She had been living with her stepmother at the time, and following an argument at their residence on Keko Street, Kathleen left the house around noon. Her stepmother reported her missing later that day. Kathleen was wearing a blue coat, a green Army shirt, a blue and white blouse, blue Levi's jeans, brown shoes, a watch, and two gold rings when she was last seen.

Although some local sightings of Kathleen were reported shortly after her disappearance, she was never found. At the time, Kathleen was reportedly staying with friends, and while it is possible she left voluntarily, authorities suspect foul play. Over the years, little new information has surfaced regarding her case, and it remains unsolved after decades of searching. The Butte County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate her disappearance.

Her case has garnered attention from both local authorities and online communities, but no significant breakthroughs have been made.
