Still no signs of missing 12-year-old girl

written by: Jeffrey Wolf 


WELD COUNTY - Both the local police in Greeley and the FBI say there are no new leads in the search for a 12-year-old girl who vanished on Sunday while walking to a friend's house for a birthday party.

Kayleah Wilson left her house around 3:40 p.m. on Sunday to take the eight-to-10 block walk to the friend's house.

Greeley Police say they believe she was going to meet a friend and they were going to walk to the party together. But she never met up with the friend or made it to the party.

There are a few locations left that were being searched by officers on Thursday, including areas around the library or the mall and some alleys around her neighborhood. The large-scale searches have ended.

About 40 investigators are now working the case and they spent much of Thursday re-interviewing a number of witnesses, some for the third time. Sgt. Joe Tymkowych with the Greeley Police department says this is typical in most cases.

Kayleah's mother, April Wilson, spoke to a producer with NBC off camera and said she wants everyone to help who can and that she misses her daughter.

Her mother called police around 10 p.m. on Sunday when Kayleah never came home. Investigators initially thought it might be a possible runaway, but when detectives talked to her family on Monday, they found no evidence she ran away. They also cannot say there was foul play, because there is no evidence of that either, including any signs of a possible abduction.

Authorities say Kayleah had a boyfriend and the two of them broke up some time ago. Police do not consider him a person of interest in her disappearance.

Kayleah is described as 5-foot, 1-inches tall, 145 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a white and pink shirt over a white tank top, blue jeans and white and red shoes. She is a student at Brentwood Middle School.

John Diebold, the principal at Brentwood, says her disappearance is a surprise to him and he says Kayleah had a friendly personality.

Authorities expand search for missing Colo. girl
Thursday, April 1, 2010

GREELEY, Colo. -- Four days after a 12-year-old northern Colorado girl disappeared after leaving home to walk to a friend's birthday party, authorities expanded their search Thursday to include places she was known to frequent, including a music store, library and shopping mall.

"We're hoping against hope that she's out there, she's safe and she is just a runaway," said Sgt. Joe Tymkowych of the police department in Greeley, about 60 miles north of Denver. "But we have to try to figure all the possible propensities of things that could happen and pursue those leads as well."

Kayleah (Kay LEE uh) Wilson was last seen Sunday afternoon, when she left her Greeley home to go to a birthday party just across a busy highway from her apartment building.

Authorities have since gone door to door seeking information on her whereabouts and used dogs to comb medians, ditches and bushes along the highway for clues. Investigators also have interviewed friends, family and acquaintances and have found nothing to indicate she ran away, Tymkowych said. Police planned to re-interview some of those people Thursday.

About 60 police and FBI agents were aiding in the search for the sixth-grader, whom her mother, April Wilson, described as a "good kid."
"She never hanged out with the bad crowds," Wilson said Thursday outside her apartment. "She had her friends. She liked to hang out at the mall, go to the library - you know, typical kid stuff."

Wilson said she had no information on what may have happened to her daughter but wanted her to know, "We love you. We miss you. Just come home. We want you home."

Tymkowych said police have contacted the girl's father, who lives in California, and other family members to advise them that she's missing and may be contacting them if she ran away.
He says Kayleah had a boyfriend, who has been interviewed and is cooperating. He is not considered a suspect or person of interest. April Wilson also spent about 12 hours at the police station Wednesday, but Tymkowych said Wilson was there assisting police in the search.

The middle school student is 5-foot-1, weighs 145 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes. Authorities say Kayleah has asthma and was believed to be carrying an inhaler. She doesn't have a cell phone.

April Wilson said her daughter likes pizza and the color pink, and that her favorite band is called Celtic Thunder.

At Kayleah's school a few blocks from her home, teachers on Thursday wore purple and pink memorial ribbons turned sideways to resemble a "K" for Kayleah.

Brentwood Middle School science teacher Mandy Skinner described Kayleah as a soft-spoken girl who often kept to herself but participated enthusiastically in group discussions and completed her assignments.

"She's a typical sixth-grader," Skinner added.

Kayleah's case is not the first missing-child case in Greeley. Jonelle Matthews, 12, disappeared on Dec. 20, 1984, and was never found. That case remains unsolved.

"That again was one of those situations where we were never able to establish if there was a runaway involved, or if it was an abduction," Tymkowych said.

FBI Denver field office spokesman Dave Joly said the FBI regularly provides help in investigating possible child abductions.

FBI Presence Increases In Search For Missing Girl

Greeley -  4/1/2010

Investigators with the FBI evidence recovery team spent most of the day inside the apartment where Kayleah lives collecting evidence to find any clues to her whereabouts. police say that several new members of the FBI have joined the investigation including behavioral experts as well as missing persons specialists, but still so far nothing. Stephanie Sanchez Kayleah's neighbor says its just a strange situation.

We made several attempts to contact Kayleah's mother April Wilson who was in the apartment but she did not answer the door. Someone inside ripped down a poster of Mickey Mouse from a top floor window.
Investigators left the impression with reporters this afternoon that she wouldn't be talking.


John Diebold is Kayleah's principal at Brentwood Middle School. teachers and students have now made ribbons in support of Kayleah and says they are doing everything they can to help with the investigation.

John says this has been tough on him personally as well, and says he hopes for the safe return of Kayleah.

Amber..Lindsey..Kayleah

All the same pattern..

We do have one culprit caught and he was a registered sex offender.

It only makes sense to roust all the S.O.'s in the area.

35 F.B.I. and local police.. looking

That was a short distance to walk just like Lindsey and Amber..

Is this area saturated with illegals ?? machismo ?
maybe and maybe not.. plenty of white s.o. in the network.

I wonder WHY she was in foster care now. and I wonder who she met online if at all.

I remember that freaking idiot just a couple of months ago, that rode the train all the way from michigan to Pismo Beach California to meet a 16 year old he was talking to online. They found him shacked up with her in a motel room...


This one as always has a lot of questions.

Reality check folks...normal 12yo do not have 17yo boyfriends in their past!  I realize it might have never been a full blown relationship but for others to have witnessed it and know of it some part must be true.  The scent dogs weren't able to follow anything so to me that says she may have used the bday party as a ruse and hopped in a car just outside her door.  She came over to the couch and said goodbye to Mom so she didn't see her to the door so who knows.  Here's a theory:  parents get up off your lazy azzez and walk, drive or carpool your kids to where they need to go.  All of the abductions we have read on here were because these kids were alone.  I understand no car, no gas money, working, whatever, then they don't have to go where they will be walking alone.  Staying home is an option ya know!  Sorry, I'm kinda mad.  Don't let your kids run your house, parents get a grip.  Don't let a predator have his way!  Protect your child with your life!  I'm done runnin my big mouth and this may not be exactly what I am trying to say so please don't be offended Monkeys!

Kayleah Wilson case: Police stumped for clues in disappearance



Mike Peters,
Serious and unsmiling, the FBI agents parked the large unmarked white van in front of the Wilson apartment Thursday afternoon, then went silently into the apartment of a 12-year-old girl who's been missing for four days.

Kayleah Wilson, 12, left her home Sunday afternoon for a birthday party and never returned. Greeley police — and now as many as 40 FBI agents — are working the case nonstop.

On Thursday, some of the agents carried in large cases, boxes and other material that would be used to gather evidence and samples from the house.

“They will take carpet samples, paint samples from the walls, and other specimens that could help them later as the case develops,” said Greeley police spokesman Sgt. Joe Tymkowych.

This type of evidence is collected routinely on a case to “capture information,” Tymkowych said. Then, as the case develops, they will have that evidence already at hand.

The agents helping Greeley police are part of the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force, and they're part of the Denver office of the FBI, concentrating on helping local departments in the state.

There is nothing new in the case, according to Tymkowych, and now Greeley police and the FBI are recanvassing the neighborhood and the girl's family and friends.

Dave Joly, an agent and spokesman for the Denver office of the FBI, said the task force was formed several years ago with five other departments to help with local investigations.

“We realize the FBI might have some resources that aren't available to smaller police departments,” Joly said Thursday. “It's pretty typical for us to participate with the investigation of missing children.”

The Denver task force includes the FBI, plus Denver police, Federal Protective Services, Aurora police, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and the Lakewood Police Department.

Meanwhile, students at Brentwood Middle School, where Kayleah attends, made ribbons Thursday to raise awareness of her disappearance.

The ribbons — which were mostly colored green, the color of the shirt she wore in a widely distributed photo, and maroon, a color she often wore — were given to every sixth-grader Thursday. Students throughout the rest of the school are expected to receive more ribbons today.

“We've used it kind of as a voice for Kayleah because right now, she doesn't have a voice,” said John Diebold, principal of the school.

Members of the FBI and Greeley Police Department have interviewed at least a dozen students in connection with the case, according to Roger Fiedler, spokesman for Greeley-Evans School District 6. Diebold added that the school's staff is also listening for clues from its students.

Kayleah's disappearance, though, has weighed heavily on the school.

“We've had a couple kids who have gone home because they are stressed,” Diebold said. “It's been a stressful situation for them ... though most of my students are pulling together and trying to figure out a way we can help find Kayleah.”

In news accounts Thursday, Kayleah's former stepfather, Jesse Wilson, said it could be possible the girl ran off to California to see her father.

Tymkowych said that was speculation and that the stepfather hadn't said anything like that to the police.

Tribune reporter Jakob Rodgers contributed to this report.

This is a tough one, there are a few different things that could have happened. If she was said to be walking to a birthday party but dogs didn't track her steps, then either she never left or she got into a car. Not sure what I think at this point, but I hope she is ok.

FBI: 'We have to assume the worst'

Web Staff KDVR Denver

2:42 PM MDT, April 2, 2010
FBI: 'We have to assume the worst'


GREELEY, Colo. - Greeley Police and the FBI held a joint news conference Friday afternoon, pleading for additional tips to help solve the disappearance of 12-year-old Kayleah Wilson.

Wilson was last seen at her Greeley home Sunday afternoon when she left to walk to a friend's house for a birthday party.

She never got there.

"If anyone has seen anything...please share that information with us," Greeley Police Sgt. Joe Tymkowych said. "It's kind of like when you pass by an accident and you assume someone has called (it) in...but maybe nobody has."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said authorities have received -to date- over 100 tips. However, FBI Special Agent Jim Davis would not provide any specifics as to whether they indicate Kayleah left on her own, or fell victim to foul play.

"We have to assume the worst. That is our job," Davis said. "We assume the worst and hope for the best, and that's how we're proceeding with the investigation."

"There is no higher priority in the Denver division of the FBI."

Police say the route Kayleah was expected to take to the party, along US Highway 34, would have put her in plain site of drivers. They are asking for anyone who might remember seeing her to call police.

On Thursday, Kayleah's stepfather raised the possibility that she ran off to California to be with her biological father. On Friday, however, the FBI said that did not appear to be the case.

"We interviewed the father and we're confident she's not with him in California," Davis said. "However, we have not washed out the possibility that she has left on her own."


Police say Kayleah was last seen wearing a white and pink shirt over a white tank top, blue jeans and white and red shoes. She's described as 5'1", 145 lbs., brown eyes and brown hair.

Also Friday, authorities displayed a red inhaler Kayleah, who suffers from asthma, took with her to the party with the hope that -if discovered- it could provide an important clue as to her whereabouts.

An AMBER Alert has not been issued in this case because Kayleah's disappearance does not yet meet the criteria. AMBER Alerts for missing children were created after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was kidnapped and killed in Texas in 1996.

Anyone with information about Kayleah's disappearance can call the Greeley Police Department at (970) 350-9600 or the FBI's anonymous tip line, 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Police, FBI Seek Help Finding Colorado Girl

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) ― Greeley police and the FBI are asking for help from the public in finding a missing 12-year-old girl last seen Sunday.

The special agent in charge of the Denver FBI office, James Davis, says 50 FBI agents and 25 Greeley police officers are searching for Kayleah Wilson.

Davis says Wilson disappeared Sunday under suspicious circumstances while going to a friend's birthday party with only the clothes on her back and an asthma inhaler.

He says the FBI would have a similar response to kids who disappear under similar circumstances.

FBI, police still look for clues in disappearance of missing girl

 Matt Clough written by: Jeffrey Wolf

GREELEY - While making a plea to the public for help on Friday afternoon, the FBI and Greeley Police Department say they do have some leads in the disappearance of a missing 12-year-old girl.

"We have to assume the worst. That's our job. We assume the worst and hope for the best. And that's the way we're proceeding with this investigation," FBI Special Agent in Charge Jim Davis said during a news conference.

Kayleah Wilson has not been since Sunday around 3:40 p.m. when she left her house to walk to a birthday party. The walk was supposed to only be eight to 10 blocks, but Kayleah never arrived at the party.

Investigators say they do not believe this is a runaway situation, but have also found no signs of foul play.

Greeley Police Chief Jerry Garner says they are going through "foot-slogging police work" to try and find the girl.

"We've been working this case pretty much around the clock since Sunday night," Garner said. "We have a huge amount of leads in this case. Every single one of them has to be tracked down."

Davis said while they have some leads, they cannot discuss them with the public.

"There is, at this moment, no higher priority to the Denver division of the FBI. We have significant resources here assisting in this investigation," Davis said. "We're not excluding anything at this time."

Investigators say while they have many leads, they still need more information from the public.

"If anybody has seen something that they think would apply to this case, something on the street, some information from the neighborhood, anything at all, if you think maybe it's not very important, we're asking folks to please share that information with us. Because it may be a piece of information we do not have," Garner said.

"We really are in great need of assistance from the public," Davis said. "Please don't assume that we already know something."

In addition to releasing more pictures of Kayleah, the FBI also showed pictures of her inhaler. She has asthma and investigators are asking that anyone who has seen a red-and-white inhaler to contact them because it could be a clue.

The FBI has more than 50 investigators working the case in Greeley brought its behavioral analysis unit and it's child abduction rapid deployment team from Washington, D.C. to Greeley to assist in the search for the girl.

While police say the large-scale searches have ended, on Friday afternoon investigators were asking people around the Greeley Mall if they had seen anything related to Kayleah.

Investigators say they have spoken Kayleah's father in California and some other family members in case it is a runaway situation and she tries to contact them. They do not believe she is with her father, but still say it is possible she ran away.

"We have not washed out the possibility that she has left on her own," Davis said.

Kayleah is described as 5-foot, 1-inch tall, 145 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a white and pink shirt over a white tank top, blue jeans and white and red shoes. She is a student at Brentwood Middle School.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Greeley Police Department at 970-350-9600.

She has not been seen for five days, and Greeley police and the FBI held a press conference Friday to announce they need more help.

They didn't issue an Amber Alert because of another issue. Something they're not sharing with the public. In time we'll all find out. I pray for her safety.

What I am wondering is why 40 FBI agents are looking for this girl? Over in another state a 16 year old went missing well over a month ago and they are still scratching their heads wondering if she ran away or was taken and I don't believe one fbi agent has even looked into it. Something tells me they know what they are looking for they just don't know where.
