Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9115) and 4 other sources
Kimberly Palmer, a 19-year-old mother from Carrollton, Texas, disappeared under mysterious circumstances on October 30, 2000. The night before, she had gone out with her former boyfriend, Maurice Shawtate Teele, and her three-year-old son. Teele stated that he dropped Palmer and her son off at an apartment complex near her home that evening, but she was never heard from again. The following morning, her son was found alone, asleep on a concrete guardrail of a bridge in Denton County, but there was no sign of Palmer.

Extensive searches of the surrounding area turned up no clues to her whereabouts. Authorities suspected foul play early on, as it was highly uncharacteristic for Palmer to abandon her child. Despite thorough investigations, no charges have been brought forward, and her case remains unsolved. Palmer’s family, alongside the local community, continues to seek answers and justice, with her disappearance leaving an emotional void that has persisted for over two decades.

Palmer was last seen wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, tight-fitting bellbottom jeans, and black suede boots, with large gold hoop earrings. She was known to suffer from depression, though there has been no conclusive link between this and her disappearance. Authorities continue to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to breakthroughs in this cold case.
