MISSING: FBI Is Seeking Your Help To Find Missing Portage Woman

It's upsetting and alarming how many people leave their homes, only to never return each year.

According to the NamUs database, anywhere from 500,000 - 600,000 people are declared missing every single year in the US. On top of that, there are around 4,400 unidentified bodies discovered every single year, meaning that only 0.7333% of people who go missing are found and unable to be identified.

And in December of 2022, one of those people was a 35-year-old woman in Portage named Heather Mae Kelley.

According to reports, Heather Mae Kelley was last seen leaving her home at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022. Police said she called home to tell her children she'd be home shortly an hour around 10:20 p.m. But, she wasn't. Heather Kelley never returned home, and her truck was found abandoned and burned near the intersection of Sprinkle and E. Michigan in Comstock TWP the next day.

Last month, the search for her turned into a homicide investigation, however no trace of Heather has been found. That's why the FBI Detroit office is looking for your help to find out what happened to Heather Kelley.

Here are the details we know about her so far:
