Only one source has any mention of Traci's kids. No source has specified what abusive situation she was living in but I'm assuming abusive boyfriend/husband. Unsure is she's been married as one source refers to her as ms./mrs. and I haven't been able to find a record suggesting that she was married.

Haltom City police continue asking public’s help finding missing woman 25 years later
BY MEGAN CARDONA OCTOBER 14, 2021 9:05 PM

Friday marks 25 years since Haltom City resident Traci Lynn Kelley was reported missing on Oct. 15, 1996. Kelley was last seen at her residence on Bertha Street in Haltom City around July 1996. Haltom City police said in a Facebook post Thursday that she wasn’t reported missing until months later by her family in Minnesota, who had been unable to reach her for weeks. Kelley, a 30-year-old mother of three, had worked at Pancho’s Restaurant in the Richland Plaza Shopping Center. In the post, Haltom City police said Kelley had been a victim of domestic assault and her disappearance is suspected to be a result of criminal activity. Her purse, identification and other personal belongings were left at her residence. Kelley is described as 5 feet and 5 inches tall, with blue eyes and brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, she was around 120 pounds and wore glasses, according to police.

So she went missing in April but her husband didn’t report her missing?? It wasn’t until October that her family filed a report?? And he was arrested 3 times for beating her up?! I think we all can probably take an educated guess as to what happened here. MOO

Welcome! I'm so sorry you don't have resolution on your mom's disappearance. I can't begin to understand how hard it is, and was growing up. Have you or your siblings ever submitted DNA for your mom's case? Do you have any additional information about your mom, such as tattoos, piercings, scars, jewelry she might have been wearing? We are all here to try to help!
