Missing or Unidentified Person
Kimberly Kay Novak, who also goes by her married name Allen, was 33 years old when she was last seen in Granger, Wyoming, on April 17, 1992. According to family members, she said she was leaving to attend to a custody matter in Montana. She was not reported missing until roughly three months later, when a female friend contacted authorities. Family members have described Novak as having struggled with alcohol and drug dependency in the years preceding her disappearance, during which she periodically lost contact with relatives for extended stretches before resuming contact. No physical description, clothing description, or exact residence address at the time of her disappearance has been publicly documented.
The Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office is the lead investigating agency. As of December 2023, a sheriff's office lieutenant described the case as active and under continued investigation, declining to provide further detail. Novak's case was submitted to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs #12576) in 2012 by her sister. She is among roughly 86 missing-person cases tracked by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI). No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles have been publicly identified in connection with her disappearance, and it has not been publicly classified as a homicide. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office at (307) 922-5300 or the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation at (307) 777-7181. Case Number 93-3067.
