Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP113098)
In the quiet community of Keller, Texas, a family's life was irrevocably changed when 28-year-old Kelsey Billiman Gregory was last seen on December 2, 2023. A member of the American Indian / Alaska Native community, Kelsey was described as being 5'5' and weighing 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The circumstances surrounding her initial disappearance were shrouded in uncertainty, sparking immediate concern among her loved ones and the wider community.
Authorities were alerted, and an official investigation was launched into her whereabouts, with very few leads to follow in the early stages of the case.
As days turned into weeks, the search for Kelsey intensified. The Keller Police Department led the investigation, and her case was entered into national databases for missing persons, including the National Crime Information Center and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. There was some speculation that she might be in New Mexico, but this lead, like others, did not immediately lead to her location. The lack of clear information was a source of great anguish for her family and friends, who held onto hope for her safe return. Public appeals were made, and law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, dedicated resources to aid in the search efforts.
The search came to a devastating conclusion in January 2025. On the morning of January 16, deputies from the Denton County Sheriff's Office were called to a residence in Pilot Point, a small city roughly 40 miles from where Kelsey was last seen. At the home, they made a heartbreaking discovery inside a vehicle: Kelsey, then 29, and a five-year-old boy were both found deceased. The investigation into the circumstances of their deaths was handed over to the Denton County Sheriff's Office, with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner tasked with determining the cause. The case that began as a missing person investigation tragically ended, leaving a community to mourn the loss of a young woman and a child.Last Seen: Dec 2, 2023
