I recently came across an interesting detail about Kimberly Shanders’ disappearance that hasn't been widely discussed: the uncashed traveler's checks. It's puzzling because, with $120 worth of checks, Kimberly would have had enough to cover meals, lodging, or transportation for a short period. Given that these checks were never used, I'm curious about the possibilities. Could it be that she never intended to use them and had other plans, or did something happen to her before she even got the chance? If anyone has insights into how easy it was to track or cash these checks in 1987, that might shed some light on this case. It's one of those small details that sticks out to me and adds to the mystery of what happened to her that day. Thoughts?
Has anyone else come across details about the radio station that gave Kimberly the concert tickets? I'm curious if anyone remembers the call-ins or the promotion that was happening around that time. Seems odd that winning a contest like that would lead to such a mystery. If anyone has some local knowledge or memories about the radio station's events back then, maybe it could provide a fresh angle. It's just unsettling how someone can disappear with so little trace. Also, does anyone know if the Kris Kristofferson concert was spoken about in local papers back then? Wondering if there were mentions of people attending or any other strange activities around that concert date.
Has anyone else been curious about why Kimberly would inquire about bus services if she had already planned to attend a concert? ? It's got me thinking that maybe something unexpected came up after she left home. It seems odd that she'd ask about buses without a solid plan already in place, especially since she had those concert tickets. Perhaps she was meeting someone there who had transportation? Or maybe she had a change of heart for some reason and decided to go somewhere else entirely. It's troubling that this small detail never led anywhere concrete. I wonder if there were any other reported sightings of her around that time that could help fill in the gaps.
