Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14220) and 7 other sources
On the evening of March 8, 1996, 39-year-old Kathi Jean Warren left her home on Kapplewood Court in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was on her way to a concert at Coyote Joe's, a popular venue located on Wilkinson Boulevard. Kathi was a mother and her family awaited her return, but she was never seen or heard from again after that night. The vibrant evening that began with the promise of live music ended in a mystery that has now spanned decades, leaving her loved ones with unanswered questions.

There is some conflicting information regarding what Kathi was wearing the night she disappeared. Some reports state she was in a black knee-length dress, a black shawl, and black cowboy boots. Other accounts say she was dressed more casually in a black jacket, a white t-shirt, and jeans. This discrepancy adds another layer of uncertainty to the events of that evening. Kathi was a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, stood at 5 feet tall, and weighed around 125 pounds. She also had pierced ears. Despite the investigation launched by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, very few details about what happened to Kathi after she left for the concert have ever come to light. Her case remains open, but years have passed without any significant developments.

The disappearance of Kathi Warren has left a void in the lives of her family, who have been without answers for many years. With no witnesses to her disappearance and no communication from her since that March night in 1996, the circumstances surrounding what happened remain unknown. The case is a painful reminder of how quickly a person's life can change, and how the subsequent lack of closure can deeply affect those left behind. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department continues to list her as a missing person, and the case remains one of the city's long-standing unsolved mysteries. The hope remains that one day, new information will surface and finally provide the answers that Kathi's family has been seeking for so long.
