4/17/2012: A Fort Bragg soldier last seen at a Fayetteville bar may
have caught a ride home from a bar employee before she was reported
missing.
A U.S. Army official who spoke with CNN on the
condition of anonymity says PFC Kelli Bordeaux, 23, was drinking at
Froggy Bottoms and was given a ride home by a bar employee.
CNN
reports that at some point Bordeaux sent two text messages -- one said,
"Got home safely." The official told CNN that is was unknown who
received the text message or the contents of the other text.
Detectives investigating the case say they have yet to find any records
of those texts but are continuing to look for proof they were sent.
Fayetteville Police say Bordeaux was reported missing by Fort Bragg
officials on April 16 when she did not report for duty. She was last
seen on April 14 around 1:20 a.m. leaving Froggy Bottoms, a bar at 6326
Ramsey Street.
Bordeaux is described as 5 feet 1 inch tall, 102
pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a
pink halter top and black shorts.
Bordeaux's sister, Olivia
Cox, described her as "the most amazing person I know." Cox also said it
was out of character for Bordeaux to just go missing.
"She
wanted to make sure her future was successful and she knew she was going
to be the person to make it successful," Cox said.
"She wanted
her future to be securely in place and she knew joining the military
would do that. Being a soldier, for Kellie, is something she wouldn't
jeopardize for anything. Missing working isn't something that's in
character for Kellie."
Tuesday night, police were still
interviewing family and friends, to try and determine who she was with,
when she was last seen.
Bordeaux is originally from Orlando, Fla., but was stationed at Ft. Bragg. She is married to Mike Bordeaux, a civilian.
