Karen Denise Wells: Carlisle, Pennsylvania

A road trip gone wrong.  A young mother driving alone.  A motel room untouched — and a rental car abandoned, hazard lights still blinking on a desolate Pennsylvania highway. In April 1994, 23-year-old Karen Denise Wells left Oklahoma for New Jersey.  She never arrived.  Somewhere between a late-night fast food stop and her motel, Karen disappeared — leaving behind a trail of unsettling clues, mysterious mileage on her car, and a string of unanswered questions. No struggle. No goodbye. Just a mystery that feels less like someone vanished… and more like someone was erased. This is the baffling case of Karen Denise Wells.
