Keeslyn was on probation on the time of her disappearance. Her father, Eric Roberts defined within the household’s GoFundMe:
“My daughter acquired combined up with the flawed crowd, and acquired on medication, no excuses, and was presently on probation when she went lacking. She didn’t present up for her probation assembly and a warrant was issued for her arrest. I actually imagine a few of the individuals she was acquainted with know the place she is at however they’re not speaking.”
Sadly nobody has come ahead with any data, regardless of a $3,000 reward.
Clearly one principle is that she was escaping regulation enforcement. However there’s a pair causes to doubt it. See, she vanished from the scene, however not with no hint. A collection of clues left behind have puzzled investigators for years — her ID, automotive keys, debit card, pockets, money, and garments had been all discovered on the truck cease. She’d simply depart all that behind?

Caleb Smith, 21 years outdated on the time, went lacking January 16, 2020. In keeping with her household’s timeline, Keeslyn was final seen on the 18th. So shut collectively and unrelated? Hmm.

“There’s no proof that these individuals are/had been acquainted, or that these instances are related. The investigations into these issues are ongoing, and any new pertinent data might be launched to the general public in a well timed style.”
No connection apart from the place they had been final seen! Looks as if that might be the place to begin to us…

“It looks like the GBI is dropping the ball large time since they took [the case] over. When you’re not going to take it over and work the case, then don’t take the rattling factor.”

“We’ve acquired to have closure. Come what may. Regardless of the final result is, we’ve acquired to have closure for our sanity.”

Her mom, Shannon Roberts added:
“Only a whole nightmare. We’ve not modified her room. Her room continues to be the identical.”

“Very, very exhausting, not understanding the place your little one’s at and never seeing them on this size of time. Not listening to their voice, not seeing them. It’s simply unimaginable.”
