Harvard Drive in Greenville County, South Carolina, is the last known location associated with Kathy Tutein’s disappearance. The 55-year-old woman was last seen in the area on March 31, 2018, but investigators have also considered that she may have traveled to Florida afterward. Still, investigators have not confirmed whether she ever reached the state, and her whereabouts remain unknown.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued an alert for Kathy, but authorities have not identified a specific city or location she may have gone to. Available information does not indicate whether she traveled alone or arranged to stay with someone.

There is also a discrepancy in the dates associated with her disappearance. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) records March 31, 2018, as her last contact date, while Florida’s missing person alert lists December 3, 2021. Neither record explains the difference, though both identify Greenville as the place she disappeared from.
