Kentucky State Police are asking for the public’s help to locate Scarlett Sims, a 46-year-old woman reported missing last month after she was last seen in Frankfort on June 3.

According to KSP, Sims has not returned calls or messages and her family has not seen or heard from her since the June 3 date. The report comes after the two-month period without contact, prompting law enforcement to broaden awareness and request tips from anyone who may have information about her whereabouts.

WKYT reported that KSP is also relying on personal identifiers to assist the search. The station said Sims has a distinctive scar, information investigators are using as they ask residents to compare sightings and report any matches.

KSP is directing the public to contact law enforcement with any relevant information, including details about where Sims was seen, the time of day, and any interactions or vehicles involved. Investigators are expected to review the information as they work to confirm where Sims may have gone and whether her disappearance is connected to any other local incidents.

The case highlights how missing-person investigations can move into a longer timeline when there is no communication from the individual and family members cannot provide new leads beyond the last known location. Law enforcement typically seeks to fill gaps in the public record with witness accounts and any available documentation of recent activity.

For residents, officials are asking that sightings be reported promptly and accurately. Tips can help narrow the search area and establish a timeline, which is often critical for determining what happened after a person was last seen.

As KSP continues its investigation, the family’s lack of contact since June 3 remains the central fact driving the appeal for information. Investigators will continue to use the last known location in Frankfort and the identifying details described in the public alert as the search progresses.

Why It Matters

  • The case has extended for about two months without contact, increasing the urgency of locating Sims and confirming her safety.
  • Because Sims was last seen in Frankfort, local community tips may be especially important to reconstruct her recent movements.
  • Public identification details, such as the reported scar, can help reduce delays by allowing witnesses to match descriptions more accurately.
  • Missing-person cases can require significant coordination across agencies, and early, credible leads can improve investigative efficiency.
  • The situation affects Sims’ family directly and underscores the need for timely public awareness when there is no communication.
