So, for the past six years, Kelly’s case has remained cold, despite diligent search efforts.
“White Oak is very rural. There’s a lot of ground to cover, a lot of open fields, a lot of woods,” said Lieutenant Chad Wooley, the lead detective on Kelly’s case.
“I’ve actually been up in a helicopter. We’ve searched by air, we’ve searched by foot, on four-wheelers, several of us, just about every day.”
Kelly’s daughter, Nikki, has not stopped looking for signs of her mother, either.
“I’ve checked emails, I’ve checked Facebook, I’ve checked everything that I knew to check, and there’s just nothing. It’s like she’s just gone,” Nikki said.
Investigators reportedly do not suspect foul play in this case and are determined to find out what happened to Kelly.
“We’re committed to finding her, and we’re going to keep searching until we do,” Wooley stated.
Nikki agreed and pleaded for help from community members to locate her mother.
“Just let us know that she’s okay. Just let me know that she’s okay because I want her to come home. I need her, but mainly, I just need to know that she’s okay.”
Kelly is about five foot seven, weighs 125 to 130 pounds, and has green eyes and red/auburn hair. She also has tattoos of barbed wire and roses on her left shoulder, as well as a tattoo of an orchid on her lower back.
If you have any information regarding her disappearance or whereabouts, you are urged to contact the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office at (501) 450-4917.
