A North Carolina woman who vanished last year and whose abandoned car was found in California has been located safe in Colorado, authorities confirmed Tuesday.
Kelsey Pittman was found in Colorado and is safe, according to ABC 4 News.Â
As CrimeOnline previously reported, California authorities had been searching for Pittman for months, after her last known sighting near Death Valley National Park in late 2024.
Pittman, who was 33 at the time of her disappearance, last spoke to her mother in November 2024, according to the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office.
Her mother said Pittman had contact with police in Utah around that time, but no one had heard from her since.
In early February, deputies and park service officials located Pittman’s vehicle in a remote area near Death Valley known as Slab City, off Highway 190. The area is private property often used by winter campers, according to the sheriff’s office.
Since the discovery of the vehicle in February, multiple law enforcement agencies have followed up on leads in the search for Pittman.
Authorities have not released details about where Pittman has been over the past nine months, citing the family’s request for privacy.
