Vanished. The Disappearance of Kelly Dwyer

Crime Salad

In the heart of Milwaukee, a vibrant city known for its brewing history and beautiful lakefront, Kelly Dwyer lives life to the fullest. At twenty-seven, she's a yoga enthusiast with a passion for Milwaukee’s nightlife, and her infectious spirit makes her a beloved figure among her peers. But beneath the surface of her seemingly carefree existence on social media and trendy dating apps, a mystery begins to unfold.

On October 12, 2013, Kelly's routine came to a jarring halt. Known for her punctuality, her absence from a scheduled shift at Lululemon raises alarms among her friends and family. Her social media activity, which is a constant in her daily life, suddenly ceases. The last anyone hears from Kelly is that she spent a seemingly ordinary night at a favorite bar with her long-term boyfriend, Kris Zocco. The evening ends at Kris’s upscale apartment—and then nothing. Kelly vanishes without a trace.

The days that follow are fraught with tension and fear. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover a web of secrets hidden behind the closed doors of her online world and the nightspots she frequented. Each discovery leads to more questions: What happened in the early hours at Kris's apartment? Who is the man behind Kelly's loving boyfriend façade? And most crucially, where is Kelly Dwyer?
