Heather Mae Kelley, 35, of Portage, was first reported missing in December.
A person of interest currently jailed for an unrelated crime is now the main suspect in the disappearance of a mother of eight in Michigan last year, law enforcement said this week.after she vanished while supposedly picking up an acquiantance.
More than 100 days after she was last seen, Kelley’s disappearance is now being treated as a homicide,Though Fuller said that police have explored “several different possibilities,” he confirmed that the investigation led them to “one person of interest.” “That person of interest is still in jail on unrelated charges. But right now, we feel that the investigation continues us on a path toward a possible arrest at some point, down the road, of the suspect,” he stated.Though Fuller declined to share the suspect’s identity, Kelley’s boyfriend, 37, was arrested after ditching his parole tether, four days after her disappearance. He remains in federal hold through late April.
“I believe at this time we’ve had several tips so far in the last few weeks, since the reward did go up, and we are posting this reward up on mobile billboards throughout the area,” Peter Ellis, the resident agent in charge of the FBI’s Detroit field office, told ABC News. Earlier this month, law enforcement confirmed that Kelley’s blood had been identified in the charred remains of her pickup truck, which was found by her cousin in Comstock Township one day after she was last seen.
