Catherine Frances Clampitt, age 26, disappeared from Overland Park, Kansas, on June 15, 1987. Originally from Korea, she was adopted and raised in Texas. After moving to Overland Park earlier that year to live with her brother, she found employment at a company owned by John Edward Robinson Sr., a man later identified as a serial killer. Clampitt had a troubled past involving drugs and alcohol, and her brother had been helping her restart her life.
She left her young son in the care of her parents while she sought work.
Shortly after being hired by Robinson's management consulting firm, Equi-II, Clampitt vanished. Her brother became worried when she did not return home, prompting an investigation. Robinson, who had a history of preying on vulnerable women, is the prime suspect in her disappearance, as well as in the disappearances of other young women, including Lisa Stasi and Paula Godfrey. While the remains of several victims were found in barrels on properties linked to Robinson, Clampitt's body has never been recovered. Robinson was convicted of multiple murders in 2002 and is currently suspected in Clampitt's case, although no concrete evidence has surfaced regarding her fate.
Clampitt's case remains unsolved, and she is presumed to be a victim of Robinson, whose criminal history has haunted the Kansas City area for years. Authorities continue to hope that her remains will one day be located.Last Seen: Apr 2, 1987
