Circumstances of Disappearance
Ramer disappeared on Friday August 15, 1997, after attending a softball game with friends.

She was last seen leaving her boyfriend's residence about 11:45 p.m., to return to her father's house, where she lived, was about five minutes away. She lived in Opp, located between Enterprise and Andalusia, AL.

Kemberly was about to start her senior year at Opp High School when she suddenly vanished. She was a straight-A student.

Investigators believe she disappeared sometime between midnight and 5 a.m., leaving behind her car, keys, clothes, money and her contact lenses, which family members say she couldn't see without.

Her father wasn't worried when he saw Kem wasn't home the next morning, thinking at first she might have spent the night at her mother's house. He noticed his Kem's bed was a bit more rumpled than usual, but there were no conclusive signs of a struggle and no signs of forced entry into the house.
Two days later, on August 17, her parents reported her missing.

Her family insists Kem wouldn't have run away, saying that despite her parents' divorce, she was happy and was looking forward to attending college in Mobile.

Nine months after Ramer's disappearance, investigators searched a rural Walton County lake, acting on tips that her body was there. The search lasted three days and turned up no clues relating to the case

Again in 2001, a nonprofit group from Texas searched Baptism Hole, but turned up no clues.

In 2006, investigators searched a sinkhole near Ponce de Leon, FL, after receiving an anonymous tip, but that search also turned up no evidence.

Search For Opp Teen Ends Without Findings, New Leads Received

Aug 28, 2006

The search of a sink hole near Ponce de Leon, Florida, for a missing Opp teenager has ended without any findings, but the media coverage spurred people to call in with new leads in the nine-year-old case.

That's according to Alan Ducote, an F-B-I agent with the bureau's Mobile office. Authorities ended the search around 1 p-m. today. Divers spent a total of 35 hours searching the sink hole for Kemberly Ramer's remains. Since the search began Tuesday, Ducote says several people have called with leads in the case that - quote -- "we were never aware of before." He described the leads as "promising." Ducote declined to elaborate on the new leads, but credited media coverage of the search for generating new interest in the case.

Authorities searched the sink hole, which is about 300 feet wide and 55 feet deep, following a tip from an anonymous caller to the Opp Police Department. Ramer disappeared from her father's home on August 15th, 1997. Earlier in the day, the 17-year-old had played softball and spent time with friends before returning home.
