Have you seen this child? Rosalyn Velazquez
NCMC1400215c1.jpg

Rosalyn was last seen leaving her apartment in the Azalea Park area in Radcliff, Kentucky sometime in the early morning hours of August 24, 2020. She told a friend on Instagram Live that she had taken some pills and was outside walking in the woods. She took her medication with her but left all most of her belongings behind, including her Chapstick and iPhone earbuds, which she never went anywhere without. She has never been heard from again.

According to her mother, although Rosalyn liked going for walks late at night, it's extremely uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning. Her mother stated Rosalyn developed a phobia of other people and became introverted after being bullied. She liked to hide in a walk-in closet in her apartment to cope with her anxiety.

At the time of her disappearance, Rosalyn was a student at North Hardin High School, attending class from home due to the coronavirus pandemic. She lived with her mother; her father died when she was five years old. Her mother stated she took advanced classes and planned to go to college and work in the medical field. She enjoyed playing the violin, drawing anime figures and playing with her cats.

Rosalyn is originally from Kansas and moved to the Radcliff area, where she has family, two years before she was last seen. She may have remained in the local area after her disappearance; her iPhone pinged in several different locations in the general area. Little information is available as to what happened to her; her case remains unsolved.

Her mom seems to think she has been sex trafficked, but the charleyproject description makes me think self-harm. :(

A year later, struggle remains to find missing teen
It’s been a year since Rosalyn Velazquez, 16, disappeared and since that day it’s been a struggle for those involved in the case.

The North Hardin High School student was reported to leave at 1 a.m. Aug. 24 from her apartment in Azalea Park near the high school, where she lived with her mother, Sabrina Boozel.

“I am struggling,” Boozel said, adding she was feeling the stress of the anniversary of her daughter’s disappearance. “I didn’t want to relive it. It’s like opening a wound all over again, but I have to step outside of my feelings to keep her face out there and to let her know that I’m not giving up.”


Radcliff police also are struggling with receiving new leads, said Detective Joe Gonzalez, one of two detectives assigned to the case.

“We’ve had no new developments per se, meaning we haven’t had any concrete sightings or anything we can definitely say, ‘Yeah that’s her,’” he said. “Obviously, we’ve had several Crime Stoppers tips called in, tips from the general public, since the day she went missing.”
 
Still missing according to her Bring Home FB
Latest update is "The 24th will be a year and a half for Rosalyn with no progress whatsoever! Thursday, a gentleman will be arriving to assist with her case. Remaining hopeful!

I agree with kelsies post, it sounds more like self harm, or she took the pills like she told her friend and died out in the woods. Weird her remains have not been found though.
 
There are dozens and dozens of pages of information Radcliff detectives have looked at countless times over the years since Rosalyn Velazquez has gone missing.

Det. Kenneth Mattingly is giving the case file another look, determined to find answers.

"We have to go back and look for clues that were there or maybe weren't there, re-examining the whole investigation," Mattingly said.

"There is no closure you don’t know if the child is okay or where they’re at, or what’s happened to that child that sense of unknown is disturbing I think. It bothers us all," Radcliff police Capt. Willie Wells said.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children recently made the trip to Radcliff and based on their findings, they're expanding the investigation into other states.
