On November 11th, 1982, 20-year-old Kathy Mae Goad took the day off work to run some errands in the Fort Worth, Texas suburb of Hurst. She never made it back to the east Fort Worth home she shared with her husband, who reported her missing that evening. The Fort Worth Police believed that Kathy had simply left her husband and more or less refused to investigate the case. But authorities in her Kentucky hometown felt very differently. They sent one of their best detectives to Texas to investigate. In the first two days of Commonwealth of Kentucky Attorney’s Detective Glen Wood’s visit, he uncovered information that strongly pointed to a suspect in Kathy Goad’s disappearance. Twelve years after Kathy went missing, a mysterious letter sent to FWPD attempted to connect her case with one of the city’s most talked about mysteries – the Fort Worth Missing Trio. Still, the 20-year-old has never been found and no one has ever been held accountable for whatever happened to her.
