In 2011, She Left For A Trip To Miami With Her Boyfriend And Never Returned Home
In 2011, Alivia Christine Kail was just 19 years old and lived with a roommate in her Mount Washington, Pennsylvania, apartment.
At the same time, she had been in a relationship with her boyfriend, 22-year-old Alexander, for approximately six months.
But, after leaving with Alexander for a trip to Miami, Florida, in March of that year, Alivia was never seen or heard from again.
It all began on March 5, 2011, when she visited her brother’s home– which was located on the 500 block of Edgewood Avenue in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.
While there, Alivia grabbed some of her clothes and told her brother that she was heading to Miami with her boyfriend– who was reportedly paying for the entire trip.
Afterward, Alivia left with Alexander in his car, which was a red Ford Explorer that had a Pittsburgh Steelers emblem on it. That was the last time she was ever seen by her loved ones.
By March 16, 2011, Alexander traveled back to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but he arrived home without Alivia.
So, Alivia’s family members attempted to get in touch with her. And after three days, they were forced to contact the Allegheny County Police Department to file a missing person report on March 19, 2011.
Upon launching an investigation, it was discovered that Alivia’s cell phone had been turned off on March 5, 2011. And the last time her device “pinged” was nearby the Allegheny County Airport located in West Mifflin.

Investigators also followed up with Alexander, but he did allegedly not cooperate with authorities and reportedly provided conflicting stories about Alivia’s whereabouts.
For instance, he first detailed how she had remained in Florida. He also claimed to have dropped Alivia off at her apartment in Mount Washington.
So, on March 30, 2011, the police did obtain a search warrant to comb Alexander’s home. There, investigators discovered a stolen gun, among other items.
This discovery led Alexander to be charged with possession and receiving stolen property– which he pled guilty to. Afterward, he served a jail sentence of three months.
In terms of Alivia’s case, however, authorities did not discover any evidence at Alexander’s home linking him to her disappearance.
Two years later, in May 2013, investigators also searched the wooded region located behind the Allegheny County Airport– where Alivia’s cell phone had last pinged before being turned off. But unfortunately, this effort yielded no results, either.
While authorities have not uncovered any evidence of foul play in Alivia’s disappearance, though, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) does believe that she might have been a victim of trafficking.
So, while the exact circumstances surrounding Alivia’s case remain unknown, her loved ones have continued searching.
Online, Alivia’s family created a Facebook page entitled “Break The Silence For Alivia Kail” to help share her story and raise awareness about her case.
“It’s been very difficult on my life as far as normal things, every day, working, trying to do that, and the struggle and the chain wrapped around me,” Alivia’s mother, Christine Didiano, said in a 2013 interview with WTAE.
“I don’t want the chain anymore. The chain needs to come off of me, and that’s going to happen when Alivia is found, so then at least I can continue to fight for her, for the crime, and then settle it, and then myself and my children can go ahead and live and get back to normal, because nothing’s been normal.”
At the time of her disappearance, Alivia was about five foot one, weighed 110 pounds, and had brown hair and green/blue eyes. She was last seen wearing jeans, a black short-sleeved t-shirt, and either UGG boots or sneakers.
Alivia also had nose, ear, and right upper lip piercings, as well as a tattoo of a blue lily on her right hip. She would be 31 years old today.
If you have any information regarding Alivia’s disappearance, you are urged to contact the Allegheny County Police Department at (412) 473-3056.
