OVERLAND PARK, KAN -
Keighley Ann Alyea, 18, was last seen at her home around midnight Tuesday, Sept. 29. On Sunday, Overland Park, Kan. police found Alyea's 1993 green Mazda in an apartment parking lot near a dumpster at 62nd and Foster. The car was towed by police and an evidence technician will process any evidence that may be found.
Over the weekend, police questioned two ex-boyfriends of Alyea's and another man. The men police questioned were Sean M. Merritt, 22; Jaymes Beebe, 22; and Dustin Hilt, 18. No one was arrested and no charges were filed.
Aylea's family said it's been nearly a week since anyone has heard from her.
"No one on Facebook's gotten in contact with her," said Jame Hayes, father. "No text messages, no phone calls, just gone."
Friends have launched a Facebook page for Alyea, hoping that it will help bring her home.
Keighley's mother, Kelly Bastel, who lives in the Ozarks, said it's not like her daughter to leave for long periods of time.
"It's not like Keighley," she said. "Keighley loves her family. She's a person that can't live without contact."
Police said they fear Alyea may be in danger. Just last week she was involved in a domestic violence incident with an ex-boyfriend and another individual.
"She's been a victim of violence in the past, so we want to make absolutely sure she's okay," said Overland Park police captain, Jim Weaver.
The ex-boyfriend was arrested and released. Over the weekend, police revisited the ex-boyfriend and questioned him about Alyea's disappearance.
On Saturday morning police went to the home of Jaymes Beebe. He said they have the wrong man if they're trying to pin Alyea's disappearance on him.
"They're calling me a suspect," he said. "They came here at five in the morning with my house surrounded. That makes me look like a suspect."
But by late Saturday afternoon, police dropped Beebe from the suspect list.
Beebe said Alyea's disappearance is overblown.
"She's trying to get attention," he said. "That's how she is. She's an attention getter. She messed up with a lot of people where nobody wants to talk with her anymore."
But Alyea's mother said all she knows is that her daughter is gone and she wants her home.
"I just picture her walking through the door," said Bastel. "I just want a phone call."
Alyea's father said he wants the same thing.
"Ya know, everybody wants to think the best," Hayes said. "No matter what the situation she's in, nothing will make me happier than to hear my doorbell ring and see her standing there."
Alyea is a white female with black hair and brown eyes. She is 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 113 lbs. It is unknown what she was wearing at the time she went missing. If you see Alyea, please notify the Overland Park Police Department or the Tips Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.
