Kimberly Norwood vanished on the way home in Hallsville 28 years ago.
Norwood, who was 12 at the time, became separated from her friends about a mile from the house and hasn't been seen since May 20, 1989.
Norwood and three friends split up at about 5:15 p.m. that day. She was wearing a white T-shirt with the cartoon character Milk Dude and red and black cows on the front, dark blue jeans, and black Keds tennis shoes.
The girl was also wearing a black bow in her hair, a SWATCH watch, and a gold ring with an aquamarine stone. Kimberly has an abdominal surgery scar and pierced ears.
"We would love to put an answer to this and see if we can help the family," Webb said.
Anyone with information about Norwood's disappearance may call the Harrison County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at (903) 923-4000 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 (1-800-THE-LOST).
The family of Kimberly Norwood gathered in Marshall to keep hope alive that somehow answers can be found concerning her disappearance.
Norwood was just 12-years-old when she disappeared from Hallsville, on the evening of May 20, 1989,"It doesn't sound real to say 29 years I mean. I just want to ask everybody to keep the prayers coming for us and Kim and keep positive thoughts," says Kim's mother Janice Norwood.
After doing some research, I am shocked to find the following cases in TX., around the time of Amber's abduction/murder.
Tasha Wright-Missing since '89-Dallas, Tx. -10 yrs.old.....Last seen walking to a friends house.
Jenna Robbins-Missing since '89-Killeen, Tx.-9 yrs. old...Last seen walking with a friend-offered ride from white male, 20's...she accepted, friend refused.
Kimberly Norwood-Missing since '89-Hallsville, Tx.-12 yrs. old...Last seen walking home.
Angelica Gandara-Missing since '89-Temple, Tx.-12 yrs. old...Last seen in a white pick-up with unknown white male & female.
Amber Hagerman-Missing since '96-Arlington, Tx.-9 yrs. old....Last seen in parking lot being shoved into black pick-up by male.
BBM-
All abductions in '89 (except Ambers)..all around the same age as Amber...all walking except Angelica (& Amber) and she may have accepted a ride. We also have a string of toddler cases, in TX. in the '80's-early 90's that fit a pattern IMO.
Ara Johnson-Missing since '86-Big Sandy, Tx.- 5 yrs. old...Last seen in her bedroom asleep.
Pam Mayfield-Missing since '85-Houston, Tx.-5 yrs. old...Last seen walking home from school with her brother Michael after school.
Megan Garner-Missing since '91-Tyler, Tx.-3 yrs. old....Last seen at a playground near her home.
Amber Crum-Missing since '83-Dallas, Tx.-2 yrs. old....Last seen in truck outside of convenient store.
Desiree Carroll-Missing since '83- Kosse, Tx.-2 yrs. old......Last seen near her home.
BBM-IMO- of course, these are only females...trying to find a pattern or MO of a perp. here.
I read upthread in post #29 that DNA was done. This was Kimberly’s DNA correct? Not the DNA of any suspect? Have there been any recent searches in the past 5 years or so of the mines or local landscape?30 years gone today.
My thoughts are with Kim today, wondering what happened to her and where she is. My prayers are with her family, I know a milestone such as this brings back old feelings and gives them a new sting. One day they will have answers, whether it’s in this life or the next remains to be seen.
