Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13145) and 15 other sources
Kelly Jon Armstrong, a 27-year-old mother from Kokomo, Indiana, was last seen in July 2011. She lived with her boyfriend, Travis Funke, and their child in a trailer. After Kelly’s family lost contact with her for several weeks, her sister reported her missing on September 26, 2011. A subsequent police search of her residence revealed bloodstained carpeting, and Funke was arrested shortly afterward on unrelated charges.

In 2012, Funke confessed to killing Kelly during a violent altercation, claiming she attacked him with a hammer. He admitted to disposing of her body in a trash container, which was later picked up and sent to a landfill. Despite extensive searches of the Wabash Valley Landfill, Kelly’s body was never found. Funke was later charged with voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Kelly’s case remains unresolved, with her body still missing. Authorities believe she is likely deceased, but the lack of remains continues to leave her family without closure.
