Nearly seven months have passed since 15-year-old Kylie Arellano disappeared from her Garden City, Utah, home. She was last seen by her family on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Her mother, Stephanie Coleman, is desperately trying to find Kylie and bring her home.

Kylie didn’t grow up in Garden City — the family moved to the area in May of 2023. Stephanie says her daughter has been struggling with mental health issues, and was in therapy when she disappeared. She had also been the victim of a crime the previous year. “She’s gone through a lot,” Stephanie said.

Sheriff Dale Stacey of the Rich County Sheriff’s Office told Dateline his office got involved shortly after Kylie went missing. “I know the family personally,” he said. “Her mother called me.”
The sheriff explained that his department is very small. At one point over the summer, the office was down to just him and two deputies. Kylie is their only active missing person case. “But it’s not our only case that we’re working — and so we do try to put what effort we can into it,” he said.

According to Stephanie, there was a sighting in Perry, Utah, on Saturday, May 31, just before noon. She believes it was definitely her daughter. Perry is more than an hour south of Garden City by car. “It was at a rest stop right off of I-15,” she said. “I believe this lady with every ounce of my soul.”
Stephanie says she spoke with the woman, who told her she stopped at the rest stop that day....................Kylie comes walking out. She’s wearing a — a wig with long black hair and a beanie. I have photos of Kylie wearing the same beanie, wearing the same wig,” .............

The office has also conferred with the FBI on Kylie’s case. “At least twice we’ve spoken with the FBI. They’ve looked at the case,” Stacey said. “Both times they told us it does not fit what they need to get involved.” Stephanie says she has also been talking to an FBI agent directly.
