January 28, 2020: the final day Keeslyn was seen, in line with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Keeslyn was on probation on the time of her disappearance. Her father, Eric Roberts defined within the household’s GoFundMe:
“My daughter got mixed up with the wrong crowd, and got on drugs, no excuses, and was currently on probation when she went missing. She did not show up for her probation meeting and a warrant was issued for her arrest. I truly believe some of the people she was acquainted with know where she is at but they’re not talking.”
Unfortunately nobody has come ahead with any info, regardless of a $3,000 reward.
Obviously one concept is that she was escaping regulation enforcement. But there’s a pair causes to doubt it. See, she vanished from the scene, however not with no hint. A collection of clues left behind have puzzled investigators for years — her ID, automobile keys, debit card, pockets, money, and garments have been all discovered on the truck cease. She’d simply depart all that behind?
Also, final yr Gordon County sheriff Mitch Ralston addressed a reasonably disturbing coincidence within the case: a further lacking particular person was final seen at the exact same truck cease simply DAYS previous to Keeslyn’s disappearance. Caleb Smith, 21 years outdated on the time, went lacking January 16, 2020. According to her household’s timeline, Keeslyn was final seen on the 18th. So shut collectively and unrelated? Hmm. Caleb, sadly, was later discovered useless in a marsh, in line with the Macon Telegraph. Ralston defined on the time:
“There’s no evidence that these people are/were acquainted, or that these cases are connected. The investigations into these matters are ongoing, and any new pertinent information will be released to the public in a timely fashion.”
No connection apart from the place they have been final seen! Seems like that will be the place to begin to us…
Joe Montgomery, particular agent in cost on the GBI Region One Field Office in Calhoun later instructed McClatchy News the company had investigated “every lead and every reference” however had discovered no success. Keeslyn’s father then stated not sufficient was being achieved, declaring:
“It seems like the GBI is dropping the ball big time since they took [the case] over. If you’re not going to take it over and work the case, then don’t take the damn thing.”
But the Roberts household are nonetheless “fighting hard” — and have elevated their reward to $50,000. Eric instructed Channel 2 Action News:
“We’ve got to have closure. One way or the other. Whatever the outcome is, we’ve got to have closure for our sanity.”
He continued:
“I wish somebody would come forward. Somebody knows something. We want the truth.”

Her mom, Shannon Roberts added:
“Just a total nightmare. We’ve not changed her room. Her room is still the same.”
Keeslyn could be turning 23 years outdated later this month, and her mom continues to be holding out hope they’ll have a good time collectively once more sooner or later:
“Very, very hard, not knowing where your child’s at and not seeing them in this length of time. Not hearing their voice, not seeing them. It’s just unimaginable.”
Her mother and father say she has tattoos of water and a sea turtle, and stands 5 toes, six inches. We’re sending power to the Roberts household throughout this tough time. The GBI asks anybody with info to name 706-624-1424 or 1-800-597-TIPS.
