Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office reported that Kelley called her kids the night she disappeared around 10:20 p.m. and told them she will be home soon, but she never showed up.
Officials said that they recovered her truck the next day and it was abandoned. Kelley’s vehicle was recovered in Comstock Township, and there was evidence of foul play, according to WOOD -- an NBC affiliate in Grand Rapids.
The Grand Rapids station reported that authorities arrested Kelley’s boyfriend on Dec. 14 and is on a federal hold until April 26. The boyfriend was taken to Newaygo County Jail. WOOD wrote that the boyfriend asked for an early release, claiming he went AWOL because Kelley’s relatives threatened to kill him.
Kelley’s body has not been found.
