🖤 WyoFind Wednesday – Kimberly Kay Novak 🖤
On April 17, 1992, 33-year-old Kimberly Kay Novak, who also went by Kim and Kimberly Allen, disappeared from Granger, Wyoming and has never been found.
Born and raised in Helena, Montana, Kimberly was known for her love of rodeo, arranging flowers, and living life on her own terms. Family members described her as a free spirit who also struggled with addiction, and it was not uncommon for her to go periods of time without contacting her family.
The last known communication between Kimberly and her family occurred in early 1989 during a phone call while she was living in Wyoming. During that conversation, Kimberly told her sister she loved both her and their father. Her sister encouraged Kimberly to call their father back when he became available, but that would be the last time any member of the family heard from her.
When Kimberly disappeared in 1992, she was not reported missing for approximately three months. The delay, combined with conflicting information and gaps in the timeline, created challenges for investigators from the very beginning. Over the years, numerous questions have remained unanswered, making it difficult to determine exactly what happened to her.
In 2012, Kimberly’s family worked to bring renewed attention to her disappearance by having her case entered into NamUs. More than 34 years later, they continue searching for answers and hoping someone will come forward with information that could finally provide clarity in her case.
Kimberly is described as a white female standing between 5’3” and 5’6” tall and weighing approximately 120 to 135 pounds. She had a mole near her nose and a tattoo of Pegasus with the words “Rolling Thunder” and pine trees on her left shoulder blade.
Despite the passage of time, Kimberly’s disappearance remains unsolved. Her family and investigators continue to seek answers, believing that someone may still hold information that could help piece together what happened.
By sharing Kimberly’s story and speaking her name, we help ensure she is not forgotten. Every share, every conversation, and every new set of eyes on her case helps keep hope alive that one day her family will finally receive the answers and closure they have waited more than three decades for.
Anyone with information about Kimberly’s disappearance is encouraged to contact the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office at (307) 922-5300 or the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation at (307) 777-7181.
