Three years after disappearing, Kara Tingle’s smiling face graces yet another missing person poster.
“I would go through Walmart and I would look at the things and I would go ‘oh, I really feel for those people’ and now I’m one of those people,” said Kara’s mother, Sheila Tingle.
The family of Kara Tingle, a mother who went missing in 2010, now hopes an increased reward totaling $12,000 will help bring answers to the unsolved three year old case.

“We just need information leading to finding Kara, but we do have to find Kara,” Sheila said.
The young mother vanished July 17, 2010 and was last seen on Beechfork Loop Road in Gravel Switch. Her car was eventually found abandoned along the Bluegrass Parkway.
“She said ‘mom, I’m okay. I’ll be home shortly’ and she never showed up,” Sheila remembers.
Now, on the third anniversary of her disappearance, Kara’s mother, Sheila, continues to fight for information.
“We’ve taken this day by day, and year by year, and we’ll continue to do so until we find the answers,” she said. “No, I won’t give up.”
As the reward continues to grow, Sheila hopes it’s enough to bring her daughter home.
“I’ve been asked what’s the magic number. I don’t know the magic number. If I did, I would do something to get to that magic number to get someone to call in.”
A call this mother hopes, prays and waits for every single day.
“Every day that we go by, you think ‘is today the day that I find out something?’ If not, you get up the next morning, ‘is today the day I find out something? But it’s one day closer to finding out the answers,” she says.
Kara’s ex-husband, William Rigdon, is in jail charged in the murder of Wendall Gleason Pyles, who was shot to death last September at a Casey County business.
Rigdon was never named a suspect in Kara’s disappearance, but police close to the investigation have said they believe Rigdon knows more than he’s saying.
If you have any information call State Police.
