Kaur was last seen in Detroit, Michigan on May 26, 1986. That morning when her children woke up, their father had gone to work and they assumed their mother was asleep. When Kaur's husband, a taxi driver, came home for lunch, he discovered she was missing. She left a note written in the Punjabi language, saying she was leaving. Kaur's car disappeared with her, but was found abandoned a few days later. She didn't take her wallet, purse or driver's license. Few details are available in Kaur's case. Her children believe she's deceased.
