Great news! Kylie Arellano has been located and is safe. After more than 17 months missing, she was found just yesterday in Oregon.

The 17-year-old was located with a 39-year-old man who was taken into custody. According to a law enforcement, Kylie had apparently connected with him through Snapchat before disappearing from Garden City, Utah, in May 2025. Authorities haven't released his identity or explained where Kylie has been all this time.

Investigators had been following leads across the country and even overseas before finally locating her. There are now questions about whether Kylie may have been targeted through social media, although the circumstances of her disappearance are still being investigated.

Kylie was just 15 when she disappeared, and she's 17 now. There's still a lot to learn about what happened during those 17 months, but for now, the important news is that she's safe.

Great news! Kylie Ar

When Jennifer Lee Brown disappeared from Portland, Oregon, in September 2015, the people closest to her believed she was getting ready for a fresh start. Known to her friends as Jenny or JB, she was preparing to enter a treatment program, so when they didn't hear from her, they initially thought she'd gone ahead with her plans. It would be months before anyone realized something was wrong.

Jenny was 39 when she was last seen on September 20th, 2015, visiting a friend near Southeast 16th Avenue and Stark Street in Portland. Someone familiar with her disappearance recently reached out to me and shared a few additional details about that evening.

According to her account, Jenny had been spending time in a friend's yard around sunset before leaving, apparently in a cab. She left her phone and wallet behind and never returned for them. There was also information suggesting she may have been dropped off at another house, but what happened after she left remains unclear.

It wasn't until January 2016 that Jenny was formally reported missing. By then, nearly four months had passed since anyone had last seen her. Portland police began investigating Jenny's disappearance, but more than eleven years later, there are still no answers about what happened that evening.

The person who contacted me described Jenny as someone who made friends wherever she went and was loved by many. This individual reached out hoping to bring some attention back to her disappearance, and after all these years, the people who knew and cared about Jenny are still hoping someone can help them understand what happened to her.

When Jennifer Lee Br

After nearly nine years of wondering what happened to Rigoberto Jose Garcia, investigators are now digging up two neighboring properties in West Chester, Ohio, where they believe they may finally find him. And what's especially interesting about this development is that both properties belonged to a woman who passed away just days before police received the tip that led them there.

Rigoberto, who went by Miguel, disappeared on January 12th, 2018, after working at a property in Maineville, Ohio, where he'd been taking down Christmas lights. The 37-year-old owned a lawn care business and had spoken with his wife, Sara, earlier that afternoon, telling her he'd see her that evening. But he never came home. His family reported him missing two days later, and on January 19th, his white Toyota Tacoma was found in Fairfield, with no sign of Rigoberto.

The new search began on October 27th at two properties on Gregory Creek Lane in West Chester. Both belonged to LaWana Kay Tzeiranakis, who had recently passed away following a car accident. Police say a tip came in shortly after her death, and after checking it against other information, they had enough reason to obtain search warrants and begin excavating the grounds. Investigators have also confirmed that Rigoberto, LaWana, and a living person of interest all knew one another, although they haven't explained how they were connected or identified that person.

Fairfield Township Police Chief Robert Chabali has said he's very confident they're looking in the right place. Crews have been searching the grounds with heavy equipment, including areas around the buildings and wooded portions of the properties. As of the latest confirmed reports, they hadn't located Rigoberto, but investigators believe the information they've received could finally explain what happened to him.

For Rigoberto's wife, their three children, and everyone who has been waiting for answers since 2018, this is a major development in a case that has gone unresolved for almost nine years. The search is continuing, and police are asking anyone with information about Rigoberto or activity around the Gregory Creek Lane properties to contact investigators.
