A Cold Case that has Baffled the Capital Region for 40 Years

New York State Police via Facebook

No trace of Karen Wilson was ever found.

In March 1985, Karen Wilson, a 22-year-old University at Albany student, mysteriously disappeared while walking near Six-mile Waterworks in Albany. She was last seen heading back to her dorm after preparing for spring break.

Despite extensive investigations by the New York State Police, no clues or evidence have been found regarding her whereabouts. Her case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek new leads.

Now, over 40 years later, Karen’s disappearance remains one of the region’s most baffling mysteries, with her family and investigators still holding out hope for answers. If you have any information that might help locating her, please contact New York State Police.
