Kelsey Berreth

Police say they have no new leads in the case of Kelsey Berreth, a Colorado woman who mysteriously went missing on Thanksgiving Day and whose phone was pinged to Idaho.

Despite the fact that a missing Colorado woman’s cell phone was pinged to near Gooding, Idaho, police report that there are no leads in the state right now.

The Idaho State Police said they are not actively involved in the investigation but have promulgated missing person reports about Kelsey Berreth, 29, who disappeared from her home in Woodland Park, Colorado, on Thanksgiving Day in the hopes that she will be found.

The Woodland Park Police Department held a press conference Monday afternoon detailing everything they know so far about Berreth’s disappearance.

According to Woodland Park Police Chief Miles Young, Berreth was reported missing Dec. 2 by her mother. She was last seen Nov. 22 shopping at a Safeway supermarket with her 1-year-old daughter.

De Young said in the press release that Berreth exchanged her daughter with her fiance, the child’s father, on Nov. 22. The father said he has not seen Berreth since then and has not heard from her since he received a text from Berreth on the 25.

Additionally, De Young reported that Woodland Park Police contacted Berreth’s place of employment, Doss Aviation in Pueblo, Colorado, where Berreth was a pilot.

Berreth’s employer had reportedly received a text from Berreth on Nov. 25, stating that she would not be in to work the next week.

De Young also confirmed during the press conference that on Nov. 25, at around 5 p.m, officers pinged Berreth’s phone near Gooding, Idaho, which is about 35 miles north of Twin Falls and over 700 miles away from Woodland Park.

Berreth reportedly has family that lives near Gooding, but De Young did not make any further comment on whether the area had been searched or where exactly the cell phone was pinged.

De Young additionally stated that search warrants had been executed on Berreth’s home and both vehicles, and the case was currently being treated as a missing persons case, adding that Woodland Park Police has not identified anyone as a suspect.

Both Berreth’s cars are still in Colorado, and members of Berreth’s family reported on Facebook that after the search of her home, it did not appear as though she had packed anything. The only thing missing from the home was her purse.

Doss Aviation also reported that all their airplanes are accounted for, and De Young said there is no indication that she took off in a plane.

The FBI is now involved in the case, and both law enforcement and Berreth’s family are urging anyone who may have any knowledge to report it to the Woodland Park Police Department at (719) 687-9262.
