In 1998, Alabama Teen Kimberly Arrington, 16, Goes Missing During CVS Trip
It is a common sight to see children walking around their neighborhoods safely, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for 16-year-old Kimberly Nicole Arrington. On the day before Halloween in 1998, Kimberly left her home in Montgomery, Alabama, to buy candy and a soda from her neighborhood CVS Pharmacy around 4:00 p.m. However, when she didn’t return within the hour, her parents grew worried and went to look for her at the store themselves. To their surprise, they were informed that Kimberly did make it to the store, but no one saw her after that. Having searched for her for hours with no leads as to her whereabouts, they contacted the police.
The Investigation Into Kimberly Arrington’s Disappearance
Kimberly was not considered a runaway by her family, despite the lack of evidence. However, due to her young age, the police treated her as such. She was a content and joyful tenth-grader at Jefferson Davis High School, with no indication of rebellious behavior. In fact, Kimberly had a love for music, dancing, and computers. She was planning her Christmas shopping with her family and had scheduled a time with her father to buy gifts for her loved ones. There was no sign that Kimberly had left her home in a distraught state.
Initially, investigators believed that Kimberly had run away from home. However, their suspicions have now shifted, and they believe that she may have been abducted during her visit to the CVS store. Although Kimberly was last seen at CVS, there are no known witnesses who saw her in distress, and there isn’t any evidence to suggest that she was involved in a situation that put her life in danger.
Kimberly’s mother passed away in 2005, not having known what happened to her daughter. However, the missing teen’s father is reportedly still alive and actively searching for his child.
