Kandis was last seen in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 15, 2021. She was enrolled in an inpatient substance abuse treatment program at a facility called Odyssey House. That day she jumped over a fence, left the grounds of the treatment center and never returned.

For four days after running away from the treatment facility, she remained active on social media. Then the social media activity stopped entirely, and never resumed. She was not allowed to have her cellular phone while at Odyssey House, and a search of her previous phone activity turned up no leads.

There were possible sightings of Kandis in the local area after she went missing, around Liberty Park and in the areas around North Temple and State Street. These sightings have not been confirmed, however. Authorities investigated the theory that she'd become a victim of human trafficking; she had been trafficked before.

By the time of her disappearance, Kandis had been a ward of the state for a year and had been in and out of multiple treatment centers. She had run away from Odyssey House three separate times, and kept getting sent back to it. Kandis's whereabouts are unknown and her case remains unsolved.
 
The family of Kandis Harris, a teenager missing since 2021, is increasing the reward money in hopes that someone might come forward with information.

Initially set at $1,000, the reward now stands at $30,000.

Harris was 16 years old in the custody of the state and receiving treatment for substance use at a Salt Lake City facility when she disappeared two years ago.

Diane Carpenter, Harris's grandmother who helped raise her, remains devastated by her disappearance.

"She had the biggest heart," Carpenter said. "For almost two years, her disappearance has broken our hearts."

"I was Kandis's number one," Carpenter said.

She believes that Harris would reach out if she could, suggesting she might be held against her will.

In a further attempt to gain new leads, the family recently added $10,000 to the reward for information leading to Harris.

"That's why we have started raising the reward for Kandis," Carpenter explained. "Seems like the higher the reward goes, we have a few people that kind of start talking."

Carpenter noted that they've been receiving fragments of information regarding her granddaughter's whereabouts.

"They could know something that they don't even think is important, and it could be the really key missing piece of the puzzle that we're trying to put together here," Carpenter explained.

While the family has considered worst-case scenarios, their primary concern remains locating Harris.

"More than anything, I don't care about who did this; I just want to know where she's at," Carpenter said
