Details of Disappearance

Kingston was last seen in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on May 11, 1984. She had met a man from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who told her if she went to Tulsa she could make some money. No one in her family knew the man or knew anything about him.

Kingston left in her grandmother's red and white four-door 1980 Mercury Monarch with the Oklahoma license plate number CZ4818. She told her family she was leaving and told her grandmother she would call when she arrived at Tulsa.

She never called and has never been heard from again, and her grandmother's car has never been recovered. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are unclear, but it's uncharacteristic of her to be out of touch with her family and the case is classified as a probable homicide.
