IIRC, the friend she was supposed to meet up with lived behind (or near?) the mall. That also might explain her not taking a present along (unless those attending weren't going to bring one). Maybe she was planning on stopping in to get her friend a little something along the way.
Authorities are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the return of Kayleah Wilson, the 12-year-old Greeley girl who disappeared more than a week ago.
There are people who may know something and haven't come forward with it," FBI Special Agent in Charge Jim Davis said during a Monday afternoon press conference. "We're hoping that by offering a reward, we may drive those folks into coming in to talk to us."
On Monday, Weld County Sheriff John Cook raised the possibility that all of the media attention focused on the case –while helpful- may be frightening Kayleah, assuming she is still alive.
You are the person we're trying to help. You're not in trouble."
special developments from the fbi:
believe still info out there or people who have info that have not come forward
reward of 10k being announced for info that leads to her safe return
hope that the reward will drive these folks into coming in and talking about it.
800 leads now
still need help from the public.
they are not confident they have all the information out there and hope that the reward can help this
couple of sightings at greeley mall of her they are fairly confident of
Authorities don’t know if she was abducted or ran away
FBI office, says the longer Kayleah is missing the more concerned authorities become.
They say they have gone to 1,000 houses and pursued 300 leads.
Authorities say they still don't have enough information to issue an Amber Alert for a 12-year-old Colorado girl reported missing on March 28.
Amber Alerts go out instantly via text to cell phone subscribers and to radio and television stations. They also are posted on electronic highway signs to alert motorists.
Criteria for Amber Alerts include information that a child may be in danger or vehicle and suspect descriptions. Colorado's Amber Alert managers say the criteria are there so that the public doesn't ignore alerts when too many are issued.
did they say the definetely know she was at the mall? the wording someone put on here did not sound definte.
was anyone else at home besides mom when she left house?
as far as a gift, surely if her mother saw her off at the door to go to a BD party, mother would ask about the gift? and would have said by now that maybe she had stopped at mall to buy one? this no gift/party thing is confusing along with everything else...maybe her mom did not really actually see her leave and does not want to say so?? this would be understandable...i am just guessing...the lack of mention of a gift bugs me for some reason.

I'm so glad you said this. I've seen it, too. I also remember people coming to birthday parties without gifts and nothing was said, period.As for a possible reason Kayleah did not have a gift to give for the party may be as simple as there really wasn't any extra money for her family to afford a gift to bring. When a friend of my daughter's wasn't going to come to her party because the family could not afford a gift, my daughter insisted she come without a gift. My daughter told her that she did not invite her because she wanted a gift, she just wanted her friend to come and celebrate her birthday with her.
