Details of Disappearance​

Ann was last seen on April 15, 2008. Her husband, William T. Kelley Jr., left home for work at 5:45 a.m. He sent her a text message at 7:22 a.m., wishing her a good day, and she replied to it.

She and their four children left the house at approximately 7:30 and she dropped them off at school and day care. On the way there, at 8:14, she stopped and made purchases at a SunMart convenience store.

One of Ann's three jobs was as a cleaner at Southeast Community College in Beatrice, Nebraska; she used her key fob to go into a campus building at 8:46. An hour later, Ann called her employer to say there was a problem with one of her children at school and she leave work to deal with it.

Ann's cellular phone made a call to Beatrice Public Schools at 9:55, but it's unclear whether she actually talked to anyone; nobody there remembers having a conversation with her. This was the last sign of her; she has never been heard from again.

William sent Ann several phone text messages starting at 12:29 p.m. but got no answer. He reported his wife missing at 7:30 p.m. Her dark blue-gray wood-paneled 1991 Plymouth Voyager minivan with the Nebraska license plate number 3-A8045 is also missing. A photograph of the van is posted with this case summary.

William says he found Ann's cellular phone and a note, addressed to their children, at their home at 12:30 a.m. on April 16. It didn't appear to be a goodbye message or a suicide note, but its specific contents haven't been released. Ann hasn't used her credit cards or bank accounts since she went missing.
