GRAVES COUNTY, Ky. – One woman’s case remains unsolved after her disappearance near a Graves County highway nearly seven years ago.

According to the Graves County Sheriff’s Office, Samantha Sperry, who would now be 32, was last seen on March 28, 2018.

Authorities say Sperry and her then boyfriend, Rhen Hendrickson, got into an argument in the 4200 block of Tim Road. Hendrickson took Sperry’s vehicle back to her home, and Sperry left on a four-wheeler with her father, Dusty Holder.

The sheriff’s office says Holder said he and Sperry had gotten lost after the four-wheeler got stuck and ran out of gas.

Holder said both of them spent the night in the woods, authorities say, before they exited at the Kaler Bottoms near Highway 131 and Highway 849.

According to authorities, Sperry said she was going to her cousin’s house, and they parted ways.

The sheriff’s office says Sperry was last seen walking toward Highway 849. She was never heard from again.

Sperry is described as 5 feet 6 inches and 130 pounds.
