Kelli Bordeaux Missing: Missing Fort Bragg Soldier May Be In Danger, Cops Say
Investigators believe that a missing Fort Bragg soldier could be in danger.
Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux, a 23-year-old Army combat medic, was last seen on Saturday leaving the Froggy Bottoms bar in Fayetteville, N.C. -- and new information suggests that she "may be in danger," investigators told WRAL-TV.
Investigators didn't elaborate on the new details.
Friends and family told the station that tardiness is out of character for Bordeaux, who was labeled a missing person when she failed to show up for duty on Monday.
"Kelli is a good soldier," her sister, Olivia Cox, told the station. "Kelli is not a soldier who would go AWOL."
Cops said she disappeared after leaving the bar at about 1:20 a.m. At some point that morning, two text messages were sent from her phone. One said, "got home safely," according to CNN. It's yet unclear who the text was sent to or what the contents of the second text was.
Bordeaux's mom, Johnna Henson, told cops that a yet-unidentified individual gave the soldier a ride to the bar, where she sang karaoke. Henson doesn't believe that her daughter reached her home, despite the texts.
The soldier has been married to her civilian husband for two years.
"I can't function not knowing where she is. How can someone hurt her?" Henson told ABC News. "I lost my mother and my husband within a three months span. I can't deal with losing my child. I can't deal with anymore loss."
Bordeaux is 5 feet tall and weighs 99 pounds. She was last seen wearing a pink halter top and black shorts. Anyone with information is asked to contact Fayetteville Police at (910) 433-1856 or CrimeStoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477).

Is there a reading to follow? :)
Yes I do intend to do readings for all the missing alerts, but the workload has been so heavy with new requests. I will do my best to get something down as soon as I am able.
Empathy.
Fort Bragg officials said Wednesday they have declared missing soldier Kelli Bordeaux deceased so her military benefits can be transferred to her family.
The change in status does not presume she is dead, according to a statement from the post. It was made based on a recommendation from a board convened to review her duty status, which was listed as missing on May 16, 2012.
Post officials said Bordeaux’s husband and mother were notified of the change Monday.
Bordeaux, 23, was last seen leaving the Froggy Bottoms bar in Fayetteville on April 13, 2012. She was reported missing three days later when she didn’t report for work. She was assigned to the 601st Area Support Medical Company, 44th Medical Brigade, and served as a combat medic.
“Kelli’s entire family is in our thoughts and prayers, especially her mother, husband, sister and brother,” said Lt. Col. Heather A. Kness, commanding officer of the 261st Multifunctional Medical Battalion. “On behalf of the battalion, I would like to thank the countless members of the community and law enforcement who have searched endlessly for Kelli over the last year."
The family recently marked the one-year anniversary of Bordeaux’s disappearance with a renewed plea to the public http://www.wral.com/army-declares-missing-soldier-kelli-bordeaux-dead/12474503/
