Time does not stop

The clock keeps ticking. Time seems to slip right by. The next couple of months will entail an awareness vigil, small searches, and hopefully tips that will help law enforcement find Kelli. Each day feels like a million when there is a missing person involved. Strength, persistence and hope are hard to keep fueled.

Days are filled with many thoughts, scenarios, suspects. Stories of heroic efforts to leave a life behind. At the end of each day we are back to square one. Seems like a vicious cycle.

The days when we receive information about Kelli’s life, tips, pictures, movies, and recent updates by law enforcement make us extremely happy and grateful. These days are the ones that bring us closer to finding Kelli and renew our hope.

WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN FINDING KELLISUE! ALL IDEAS WELCOME.

Adirondacks and Missing People


Drive north out of Johnstown, New York  on route 30, for about 40 minutes and you’ll end up deep within the Adirondack Park. The park is a vast wilderness, through curvy mountain roads, and beautiful scenery.

Yesterday I spent some time in Adirondacks hiking and looking at scenery. The thing that came to mind as we drove to our destination was how deserted and isolated the area really is. We drove on  30  near Indian Lake, NY we  did not see many cars and very few people.  My fear for all the missing people in NY is this wilderness its vast darkness and desolation could nearly swallow a person and hide all the clues.  There are caves, trees, hills, rocks and wildlife. This area is indeed “wild” as one source would put it. 

I pray Kellisue is found. We do not know where to start anymore. Every twist and turn in her case is a lot like the Adirondacks, wild and forever changing, dark and vast .

Tuesday night on September 30, 2008 Kelli walked out of her job at Rite Aid around 9:45pm. 

 October 1,2008 1:48 am Car found burning on West Montgomery St. in the town of Johnstown, New York

3:00 am Car towed to undisclosed location in the City of Johnstown

October 9, 2008  foot search for Kellisue

The first 48 hours they believe Kellisue ran off with some guy. I wonder why they didn’t have questions or consider her a suspect and place a warrant on her to bring her in for questioning. Basically she left the scene of an accident and did not report an accident. A car catching on fire is a good reason to call 911.  Were there any 911 calls on September 30- October 1 . What was happening in our area during this time.

If you have seen Kellisue or have any information please contact your law enforcement agency or leave us a message and we can contact law enforcement.

Each Day


Information about Kellisue’s life is unfolding slowly. Each day we hope to find out a little bit more. Maybe the puzzle will finally be solved. Our hope will remain strong. Do not be afraid to come forward with information or facts about Kellisue. If you have something to share please do. The information helps us humanize her and bring her to life. Life is a precious gift. Life should be protected. Sometimes things happen that cannot be changed. At this point in time Kelli’s case will probably remain unsolved even if she is found. The elements and time have surely swept away the crime scene. We are trying to find out about the tunnels under Johnstown.  We are trying to find friends and family who are willing to share a memory or information. We are trying to figure out who Kelli’s closest friends were when she went missing. We are trying to figure out what her state of mind was a week before she went missing.

The slide show below is a tribute to her life…

Peace Love Hope Kelli We WIll FIND YOU!

What we Know


This slideshow requires JavaScript.

We know there are tunnels in the frog hollow area in the City of Johnstown, NY. We know pieces of Kelli’s car can still be recovered from where it burnt. We know the area of Frog Hollow is full of ledges and cliffs and not all of them have been checked.  We know that acquiring the communities support is impossible. We know that the search and efforts have been led by Kelli’s brother and other supporters. We know that using social media has opened up many outlets for us. We know that we will not give up HOPE !

If I was to try and list all we don’t know the post would be too long and no one would read

WE NEED THE COMMUNITIES HELP , THE MEDIA, AND THE POLICE’S SUPPORT IN ORDER TO FIND KELLI

With out these supports in place our quest becomes harder and the burden becomes heavier.

A child is missing her mom. She goes to bed at night probably wondering what, when why and how.  She is helpless in the search for her mom because she is too young to understand. One day this little girl will grow up and she will start the search for her mom if she has not been found. The circumstances and the mixed stories she has been told and  seen trough media, Facebook etc will spark her curiosity  about her mom. Who once was there for her and a BIG part of her life. For 9 years. I would imagine Kelli is still a big part of her life but its an internal thing or a spiritual thing. Faith Love and Hope we can bring Kelli home to her daughter.

Stepping Back


A couple years ago we received a strange tip about Kelli. 

I had driven up to Hope Falls, N.Y. and that was a day I may have signed a conservation department register Hope Falls, N.Y. which would be a reference to a lot of other people seeing her that day which would have had to be the case as her poster is all over. I was driving down south from Hope Falls NY when I saw her in Northville NY just before the bend east on old route 30 and probably stopped at Stuarts for a cup of take out coffee which I usually do and frequently stop at the Northville super market. Now the supermarket meat and poultry and fish is frequently a little seasoned, with everything else they sell o.k. and I do not know the reason for this they are probably trying to improve this but to get meat fish and poultry I know an individual from Hamilton County to the north with a county full time population of 2,500 year round and the second largest in area county in NYS has to go to Gloversville-Johnstown NY or Amsterdam NY. And for many other goods and merchandise and services. There are many many camps in Hamilton County NY owned by people from all over that are closed in physically and closed off by sight by trees and flora and gated off. One of these camp owners may have had on and off conversations with Kelly Sue at the drug store she managed nights when he was in Amsterdam, NY shopping or on business. He may have a wife and children in New York City who are not interested in the camp. Kelly sue may have told him of her marital troubles and he said she could live at his camp in Hamilton County NY. Just call him. Kelley sue at the time of her disappearance knew he was at his camp. From Leader Herald newspaper articles I gain Kelly sue was the main family bread winner. What she did the night of September 30 was a message to her husband that the car engine was ruined and no more work at the Amsterdam drug store to win more bread with the car gone. She would thus not be missed. And goodby. But she poured too much gas on the engine and the fire thus spread beyond the engine engulfing the vehicle. She was long gone hiking down the old FJ&G RR tracks (trail for hiking) and undertook a two hour walk down the trail to Fonda NY waited for the first light in the sky and with a coat and hood for the 45 degree temperature walked to a pay phone and called her friend at his camp thus keeping him out of trouble. Simply a Fonda woman not noticed particularly calling a friend to go to work. She went back on the trail and waited untill he arrived. And they went up to his Hamilton County camp. He went back to his business and family in New York City. Neither did much reading of the Leader Herald. And if that is her (unless she has an identical genetic twin or 1st cousin – there may be many kilcullens) taking in the prettiest part of Northville on the hill above the Sacandaga Reservoir – and maybe shopping in Northville – not much changed between October 2008 and Spring 2009. The Johnstown Police chief says she is going to turn up. And I would say she has already in view of dozens and dozens of people in Northville NY this spring 2009. Yet somehow women manage to have many identical twins same facial features, same body build, same 5 foot 10 body height but on the height fewer that tall and the Northville woman I saw the twin of Kellysue is 5 foot 10 inches about 35 years old slender with very good build. A very attractive woman looking very healthy and in good spirits.

Tip was written by an educated Gloversville, NY man with a Master’s in sociology.  Knowing who the author is and some of his background, we find ourselves back at this tip and re-looking at the information with in the text. Could this be true? We just do not know, but out of everything we received the information above is some of the most interesting stuff we have received.  We are taking some steps back, in hopes to uncover something new. Kelli vanished 3 1/2 years ago on a dark cold night at the end of September, where could she be?  If  anyone has information on the whereabouts of Kelli please contact law enforcement or the family.

HOPE


Missing Person’s Day was an enlightening experience. The amount of people missing in New York State is shocking. Raising awareness for our missing loved ones is something we all have in common.  A day does not go by that we do not think of Kellisue.

Our next mission is one of hope we will hold a vigil location to be announced. This will be on or around June 18. Our hope is we have a good turn out. The past events have been disappointing. We need support and a lot of it. When the details are solid there will be an update here and an event posted in Facebook.

We would like to thank the Lyall’s and the Center of Hope for making Missing Person’s Day possible. Giving the missing a voice is important. We are grateful for the opportunity to  tell our story.

Faith, Hope and Love


Yesterday was successful some lines of communication have been reopened. We hope to find you Kellisue.  There are many who are waiting, wondering and hoping to find out where you are or what happened. Your daughter misses you and needs you in her life. Your husband needs closure, your brothers and sisters pray and hope you will walk back into their lives. Family and close friends and strangers wait for answers or clues.

Love comes to those who still hope even though they’ve been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they’ve been betrayed, to those who still love even though they’ve been hurt before.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of Kellisue Kilcullen/ Ackernecht  please contact law enforcement.
