On the morning of December 6, 1989, 32-year-old Kerry O’Brien Krueger quietly left her home in Burlington, Wisconsin before sunrise, or so her husband, Tracey Krueger, told police. He said Kerry had received a late-night phone call from work and was unexpectedly sent to a trade show in Wyoming. There was just one problem….the trade show never existed. More than 35 years later, Kerry O’Brien Krueger has never been found. In this episode, Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat investigate one of Wisconsin’s most baffling missing persons cases, a story filled with contradictory timelines, suspicious financial records, missing evidence, and a mystery investigators believe Crime Junkies may be able to help solve. You’ll hear about: Kerry O’Brien Krueger’s final known movements on December 5–6, 1989, the mysterious business trip that investigators say was fabricated, the inconsistencies in Tracey Krueger’s account of the hours before Kerry disappeared, the unusual medical episode that abruptly halted the investigation, newly uncovered investigative details from the Racine County Sheriff’s Office, two critical clues investigators believe could finally break this case open, and why detectives are asking the public for help interpreting evidence that’s been sitting in the case file for decades. This investigation also explores the evolution of the case from the Burlington Police Department to the Racine County Sheriff’s Office, modern searches using cadaver dogs and ground-penetrating radar, questions surrounding physical evidence collected during the original investigation, a possible connection to a violent convicted offender who lived nearby, and why investigators believe someone may still hold the missing piece to solving Kerry’s disappearance. Kerry O’Brien Krueger was a public relations professional at Gander Mountain. She was a devoted mother to her three-year-old daughter, beloved sister and daughter, and a woman her family says would never have willingly walked away from her child. More than three decades later, investigators believe the truth is still within reach.
