Katrina Kinsey, 18: Father Returned Home & She Was Gone
Her father last saw her before leaving for work the prior evening.
Although it is reported that Katrina Kinsey vanished last year, there is very little information available regarding her case. News reports of the 18-year-old's missing person case are scarce, but several agencies have stated that the last time Katrina was seen was on August 14, 2021, in Jackson, Mississippi.
Katrina lived at home with her father in the bustling state capital, and one day, he returned home after working an overnight shift. He told authorities he saw his daughter the prior evening as he was preparing and leaving for work, but the nature of their last conversation is unknown. The Charley Project simply states that when Katrina's father returned home, she was not there. It is unclear how long she had been gone before he reported her as an official missing person.

Still, because there have not been substantial news reports about this case, it has been impossible to gauge the nature and status of the investigation, and to hear directly from her loved ones about who Katrina is as a person.
