On August 6, 1990, Gladys Kidd left her home in the Morehead 3C trail area in Rowan County Kentucky.
Kidd cleared out her bank account in 1991, taking approximately $80,000 from a sale of a local farm and equipment located along the CCC Trail.
All she took with her was clothes and a filing cabinet. She parked her car somewhere in town and left the keys in it. The only word from her was a letter received by her son, about 17 days after she disappeared, post marked in the Lexington, Kentucky area. One portion of the letter reads, “Don’t try to find me, I would just leave.”
Her social security checks have gone uncollected, her driver's license has never been renewed, and her social security number has had no activity.
