We put this together so all the information could be forwarded in one click - originally from post #44. So please forward for the guests who are here trying to update themselves, or for the new posters. Forward every few pages if possible. Thank you.

The red inhaler is the ONLY item known for sure that Kayleah was carrying - thought to be in the pocket of her jeans. Please read description of her clothes.

If you should see the red inhaler on the roadway, in a bush, etc. don't touch, 'cause they want to get fingerprints from it, but call police immediately. Thank you everyone. :blowkiss:

Happy Easter, Mystic and everyone.
Sad, this sounds like a perfect cause for the Somer Thompson Foundation. I wonder if we can contact Freed? Surely he would know.

Weld County Sheriff's Reserve Deputies, Mark Ward, left, and Ted Price, right, along with members of the Weld County Sheriff's Posse search a field near 36th Avenue and U.S. 34. Searchers spread out across the area southwest of Greeley West High School looking for clues to the disappearance of Kayleah Wilson.

FBI agents as well as the Weld County Sheriff's Posse, are working the case nonstop.

elective ground searches will be conducted throughout the day in various wooded areas, Tymkowych said. They include an area just west of Greeley West High School, a site just west of the Home Depot store at the intersection of U.S. 34 and 35th Avenue and a wooded stretch just east of Centerplace shopping area, along Centerplace Drive.

“These are the kinds of areas where something could be and nobody would walk by and see it,” Tymkowych said.

Happy Easter everybody!

Praying for Kayleah. :rose:

 

[dreamweaver]

I have been following along with Kayleah's missing person case.
What strikes me is the absence of any evidence...no clues..
dogs could not get a scent outside the building,
she didn't make it to the birthday party,
no one has heard from her...

I know it has been discussed, but maybe she didn't
ever leave the building.
I am not thinking of her family, but maybe someone
else in the building.
Or a friend of a friend offered her a ride to the party and
then, she never arrived.
I am sure that local LE and the FBI have thought of all these
angles, but
my feeling is something very bad has happened to Kayleah.

 

[dreamweaver]

Has LE mentioned if all security camera tapes in and around the building been viewed?

Would Kayleah get in a car with a friend of a friend, i.e.,
a neighbor's grandfather, a friend's dad she met one time,
the janitor, a maintenance service man, a local
church leader?
IMO. Just throwing ideas out there.

Argh, I am not sure which article it was, but that was one of the few things LE did confirm-that Kayleah did leave the building. I'm not so sure that the fact that the dogs didn't pick up her scent means anything, in the Somer Thompson case, apparently the dogs were in the very back yard of the house Somer was murdered in.
I think something very bad happened to Kayleah, too.

Granting freedoms to ‘tweens' no easy task

The investigation into Kayleah's disappearance, which continued on Saturday with law enforcement officers conducting ground searches in wooded areas in Greeley and ponds in west Greeley, has naturally summoned questions about how much freedom “tweens” — children in the range of 11-12 years old — should be afforded.

I have been wondering why we have not seen the Grandmother or the brothers. Usually the whole family is asking for help or at least in the background for support. Do we know how long she has lived with the family. Maybe she wasn't around in the time Kayleah was in foster care.

This has bothered me, too. As a matter of fact, we haven't had ANYONE pleading for her return. We haven't had anyone stressing the danger she could be in due to her Asthma. Interesting . . . .

 

[YellowSubmarine]

Sorry to say this - but all that you think you know about your 10yo - will be useless if she should ever be abducted by a child predator (stranger or otherwise). I agree that hitchhiking and getting into just any car makes for a dangerous life - but do we know that Kayleah did this or are you saying she is just more prone to do so because of her previous 17yo boyfriend. TIA

I guess my point didn't come across correctly. What I mean is she wasn't what a lot of us would think as a "typical" 12y/o. I wasn't trying to insinuate her lifestyle was dangerous, just that she led and older type of lifestyle. I think when piecing together possibilities, we need to think more like a 17-18 y/o than a 12 y/o. As far as "getting in to just any car" -- I meant that she may have been more trusting to older teens/adults because she spent a lot of time with them.

 

[Beyond Belief]

My heart is aching as I hear the little ones next door enjoying their Easter. At 12 Kayleah was still young enough to enjoy this holiday as a child. Wherever she is I hope she is being protected by the powers above.
Happy Easter little one.

 

[rbstark1]

Interesting.... there are two "Higher Grounds"- one, a ministry, hosts teens for music and Bible study. The other has horses (and "farm") IDK which one was K's "favorite hangout" mentioned on FB- but I did remember the mention that she liked music, so I assumed it was the church one... or are they both related somehow???
:waitasec:

Yes it is the Higher Grounds that hosts teens on Friday nights for music and bible study....The Farm is the indoor skatepark that is connected to Higher Grounds, it is a large industrial looking building on the northeast side of Greeley.

 

[Calliope]

Was hoping I'd wake up to another Easter miracle...

 

[cluciano63]

for some reason this girl touches my heart, she looks a little like one of my nieces when she was younger...a tomboyish-looking girl who wanted to grow up fast...i hope she gets that chance...really thought about her most of the night and hardly slept at all, am not very religious anymore but did send a prayer up for Kayleah...some news will surely come this week. i can't help thinking young people are involved and they can't keep quiet long...i hope this is the case and that she is with them, ideally...or at least they know what happened...

 

[rbstark1]

This has bothered me, too. As a matter of fact, we haven't had ANYONE pleading for her return. We haven't had anyone stressing the danger she could be in due to her Asthma. Interesting . . . .

This has bothered me also but I couldn't even imagine being a parent or family member is this situation and I would think I would be out there EVERYWHERE, but you never know, people handle things differently and handle stress differently. But maybe they should find a spokesperson for the family to help them with media and such to keep this story of top interest, I have already noticed in the local papers today the story is starting to fade to the bottom of the page, parents are the best advocates for thier children and they really need to be proactive to keep the publics interest and remind them that Kayleah is still missing, unfortunatley people move on and lose interest and forget and it is up to us as parents to make sure they never forget and never stop looking...just a thought.

THis was a good article:

Granting freedoms to ‘tweens' no easy task
Disappearance of 12-year-old Greeley girl sheds light on safety, setting boundaries
By Jakob Rodgers

As a habit, Carmen Bustillos keeps a close eye on her 10-year-old daughter, Ilse Montes. She doesn't leave her home alone, and there's parameters about where she can play in her neighborhood.

But when word spread of the disappearance of Kayleah Wilson, 12, Ilse couldn't sleep. She lay awake in her bed, wondered if the news was true and asked her mother a steady stream of questions.

Truth be told, however, Bustillos' nerves weren't doing much better.

“I don't think I would allow her to go beyond the block,” Bustillos said, adding she will drive her child more often. “It's just my fears are heightened.”

The investigation into Kayleah's disappearance, which continued on Saturday with law enforcement officers conducting ground searches in wooded areas in Greeley and ponds in west Greeley, has naturally summoned questions about how much freedom “tweens” — children in the range of 11-12 years old — should be afforded.

I have to say, with my daughter (and she is 14!), it's still all about the buddy system. Whether we are at the mall, amusement park, walking in the neighborhood, etc. She is either with me or at least one other friend. As a young female, she knows that there is safety in numbers; I also make sure she has a charged cell phone and id when she goes out. And it's not hard to enforce: at this age, they like the company of their peers and they LOVE being attached to the cell phone. It's all about teaching them to stay safe....

bbm,

and ITA!

almost every single case of a preyed upon child starts with them being ALONE! The buddy system needs to be used at all times with everyone... no matter what age.

If Chelsea King had not gone running alone maybe she would be alive today. If Somer Thompson hadn't left her group and walked ahead perhaps her crushed and violated body would not have been found in a landfill.

I am ALL ABOUT PRIMARY PREVENTION in my professional career as a nurse. This means finding where problems start and working to prevent them from even "starting". Bottom line in missing child cases and primary prevention (imhoo) is children NOT EVER being alone. For example, what if Kayleah's brother, mother, grandmother, etc walked her to the meeting point for the birthday party? Hindsight IS completely 20/20 but you know what... I have watched case after case after case of the same circumstances. A child is alone and they get grabbed. I am by no means judging Kayleah's family for letting her be alone so much at this age but I am screaming from the top of my lungs that these things CAN BE PREVENTED.

Sorry for the rant but really... it is about time that we all take action to prevent our children from being vulnerable... and alone.

"All of these leads are being followed up by the Greeley Police Department and FBI agents working on the investigation," FBI spokesman Dave S. Joly said in a statement.
Authorities searched ponds and a wooded area on Saturday but found no sign of the girl.
The missing girl's brother, Mackenzie, 17, and some friends, have joined in the search, said Ken Turner, Kayleah's cousin, who is acting as spokesman for the family.
"He went to the Poudre River Trail passing out flyers, he went down in the rocks and checked out the underbrush and spoke to some people who appeared to be homeless," Turner said.
Kayleah, a Brentwood Middle School student, is studious, well-liked by teachers, loves music and is "always at the library," Turner said.
The sixth grader had recently broken up with her 17-year-old boyfriend. The boyfriend has been questioned and is cooperating with the investigation. Police have said he is not considered a person of interest.
