A reward being offered in an effort to locate the remains of Karol Marlene Sullens, who disappeared on the night of August 31, 1991, has increased to $20,000.00, according to Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves.

"Karol's family has experienced yet another year, another birthday, another Christmas, without the peace of mind of knowing where her remains are located.  That's 29 years of anguish with not being able to properly lay her to rest."

"Through the offer of this privately funded $20,000.00 reward, we are hopeful - and Karol's family is hopeful - someone with direct knowledge as to the location of her body will find the courage to come forward at this time," stated Sheriff Groves.

Although Karol's body has not been seen since August 31, 1991, in April 2002, Donald D. Kidwell was sentenced for his role in her death.

If someone has specific information as to the location of Karol's remains, they can contact the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office at 620-429-3992, 620-848-3000, by visiting the agency website at www.cherokeecountykssheriff.com or by texting 888777.  Just type 'tip cherokee' followed by the specific information they wish to provide.
