Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4191) and 3 other sources
In the spring of 1991, a 30-year-old woman named Kathleen J. Robinson vanished from Metairie, Louisiana, leaving behind a void of information and a case that has remained cold for decades. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds. The circumstances surrounding her last known moments are unsettling and have provided few leads for investigators to follow. The specific date of her disappearance is sometimes cited as April 13, 1991, and other times as April 19, 1991, adding a layer of ambiguity to the timeline of events.

On the day she was last seen, Kathleen was reportedly on Airline Highway in Metairie. She was seen inside a light blue Pontiac or Chevrolet, engaged in what appeared to be an argument with a man. It remains unclear if she was the driver or a passenger in the vehicle, and the identity of the man she was with has never been publicly established. Since that day, there has been no contact from Kathleen, and no credible sightings have been reported, leaving her family and friends without answers. Her case is classified as a missing person, and the lack of any substantial evidence has made the investigation incredibly challenging for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

Over the years, Kathleen's case has been featured on various platforms dedicated to missing persons, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and The Charley Project. Despite these efforts to bring awareness to her disappearance, her case has not garnered the widespread attention that could potentially generate new leads. The investigation, handled by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, remains open but inactive, pending any new information. The overview of this case is one of profound uncertainty; a woman was last seen in a potentially volatile situation, and then she was gone. The lack of witnesses, the unknown identity of the man she was with, and the absence of any physical evidence have left a trail that went cold almost as soon as it began, creating a painful and enduring mystery for all who knew and cared for Kathleen Robinson.
