A 39-year-old Kansas City woman who vanished on Halloween night has been found safe, according to the Kansas City Police Department. Robin Ostehaus was last seen around 8 p.m. Saturday in the area of Oakley Avenue and Paloma Avenue before she was reported missing, setting off a search that ended with word of her safe recovery.
KCPD reported that Ostehaus had gone missing from that stretch of Kansas City, Missouri, and asked for the public's help locating her, according to FOX4KC. The station reported that police later confirmed the missing 39-year-old woman had been found safe.
What We Know So Far
The timeline laid out in the station's report is narrow but clear: Ostehaus was last seen around 8 p.m. Saturday near Oakley Avenue and Paloma Avenue, and the case was resolved with news of her safe recovery. Beyond those details, the available reporting does not lay out where she was found, when exactly she turned up, or what led to her disappearance in the first place.
Separately, the Missouri State Highway Patrol maintains a searchable database of missing persons cases statewide, though the agency is careful to note the limits of that tool. The patrol says on its case-lookup page that it is not the originating source of the information it publishes, explaining that the data is pulled from the National Crime Information Center through the investigating agency and refreshed on the Missouri State Highway Patrol website each day.
Case Resolved, Questions Remain
For now, the headline development is the one that matters most to anyone who had been watching for updates: Ostehaus is safe. The report that surfaced Sunday did not detail whether any further investigation into her disappearance remains open.
