Disappearance

At 8:30 pm on May 6, 2025, Kori Smith was seen by clerks at a BP gas station in Nicholasville, Kentucky. At 11:00 pm, she was last seen with her employer at her place of work, Swedish Auto, located at 215 Normandy Court.

She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Kori’s family was first notified about her disappearance on May 12, after she failed to show up for her second job at Lil’s Coffee House in Paris. They then learned she had failed to return to her apartment to feed her cat, Max, or pick up her paycheck.
