Mesa County, Colo. -- Kelly Mae Myers, 18, of Grand Junction, was reported missing to law enforcement in late December by family members in Mesa County. Her Facebook account shows no activity since December 17, 2014, and the last her family members heard from her was December 18, 2014.
A few reports to investigators have indicated Kelly might have hitch hiked to Utah. Investigators believe she has friends or known associates in the Salt Lake City area, and may have been trying to get there. Currently, investigators do not have any information she in endangered, however, her family insists this is very unusual behavior for Kelly and a great cause for concern.
It is not against the law to walk away from your "life" as an adult, however, if Kelly is okay and simply wants to be left alone, we would encourage her to contact Investigator Henderson, at (970) 244-3264, so we can share that information with her family.
