In 2016, 21-year-old Jessica Runions also disappeared in a nearby Missouri town. The man she was last seen with? Kara's ex-boyfriend, Kylr Yust. It wasn't until one of Yust's close family members confessed to his involvement that investigators were able to finally start to piece together what had happened to both Kara and Jessica and finally bring justice and closure to them and their families.
