Tribal police still looking for missing Menominee woman

Menominee Tribal Police have released new information in their continuing search for a woman missing since mid-June.

Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating 22-year-old Katelyn Kelley, who was last observed at her apartment in the city of Shawano between 11 p.m. on June 16 and 3 a.m. June 17.

The Shawano Police Department has been working with tribal police on the investigation.

The updated location comes after police developed further information since the original report that Kelley was last seen on the Menominee Indian Reservation, in the area of County Road VV East and Silver Canoe Road, around 10:30 p.m. June 16.

Kelley is described as a Native American, being around 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt, black swimsuit-type top, blue jean shorts and black flip-flops.

The case began when Kelley’s mother reported her missing June 18.

Menominee Tribal Police have continued to follow up on tips received since then.

Police and other tribal entities have since scoured the roadways, forest areas and local bodies of water.

Kelley has not been located, and there have been no arrests in the investigation, police said.

Tribal police are asking that hunters, campers, boaters and area residents be vigilant and watchful while out in the area.

Police are also asking people to be alert for any signs of unusual activity. If anyone sees or finds anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, they should contact authorities immediately.

Tribal police will continue to investigate any information, tips and leads coming from the community.

Anyone with information or evidence regarding Kelley’s disappearance should immediately contact Menominee Tribal Police at 715-799-3881. Information received can be kept anonymous upon request.
