On November 9, 1994, a 36-year-old woman named Kaye Francis Reid Hamilton was last seen in Yemassee, South Carolina. A mother, she disappeared from near her home in the Jenkins Road area of U.S. Highway 17. There were no signs of a struggle at her residence, and her car was left behind. It wasn't until several days after she was last seen that her family reported her missing.
At the time of her disappearance, she was taking prescription medication, but those prescriptions have not been refilled since she was last seen.
The investigation into Kaye's disappearance uncovered that she was acquainted with individuals involved in narcotics trafficking. Authorities learned that these individuals believed she was acting as an informant for law enforcement, though it was determined that she was not. Those persons of interest were looked into, but no evidence was found to connect them to her disappearance. Since she vanished, there has been no activity on her bank account, leading investigators to suspect that she met with foul play. An examination of her home revealed forensic evidence that suggested foul play was involved in her disappearance.
Despite extensive searches of the surrounding areas by hundreds of deputies and volunteers using tracking dogs, helicopters, and all-terrain vehicles, Kaye has never been located. She is described as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'1" and 5'3" tall and weighing between 115 and 140 pounds. She has a three-inch scar on her right hip. The case remains an active investigation, with her DNA available for comparison in the National Missing Persons DNA database. The overview of this case is that a 36-year-old female went missing from her home, and while there are theories about what may have happened to her, a lack of concrete evidence has left her family without answers and her case unsolved.Last Seen: Nov 9, 1994
