ENID, Okla. (KFOR) – Enid police need the community’s help finding a woman who has been missing for nearly two months.

Enid Police Department officials said they have followed tips and leads, served search warrants and even pinged Battelo’s cell phone, but have not been able to locate her.

Battelo is described as a light-skinned female, 5’09” tall, 120 pounds, and as having brown hair and brown eyes. She has short hair and is known to often wear wigs of various colors.

“Please, if you have any information about this case, contact the Enid Police Department at 580-242-7000, message us on Facebook or Twitter, or text keyword EPDTIP to 847411 and enter your tip anonymously,” Enid police said.
 
"Kendra Nicole Battelo, whose 25th birthday was Aug. 24, was reported as a missing person on July 12 by her mother, who said she last heard from her daughter around midnight on July 7 and that Battelo had been staying at a residence in the 1400 block of West Randolph but left at some point."

"According to an EPD press release, investigators have since been “diligently following all tips and leads, served a number of search warrants, field-searched several locations, seized potential evidence and attempted to ping Battelo’s cellphone.”
...
"Family members told the News & Eagle in late July that it’s unusual for Battelo to not have any contact with family members or be active on social media and that they want her to “just come back and come home.”

 
A Bench Warrant was issued in early August for failure to appear in weeks prior for a court appearance and she forfeited her bond not long thereafter. She has a history of arrests including forceable entry and had an order of protection filed against her with one of them.

She wasn't arrested for "forceable entry," lol. A Forcible Entry & Detainer is an eviction and filed in Small Claims Court. Hence the case number beginning with SC-. MOO
 
She has an incredibly broad diversity of looks. She looks like a different woman to me in each of these pictures. Not sure I’ve encountered that before in such a dramatic way and it leaves me fascinated by this case. Does anyone know, are the BF’s whereabouts known?

I always hate to read about DV in the details of a case. And when the article above lists 2 examples my mind goes to a sad outcome. I hope I'm wrong and she left a bad situation and is somewhere safe, but man oh man, sometimes it's hard to keep the faith. Prayers to her family and loved ones.
