A North Carolina woman, missing for over eight months and feared lost in the unforgiving terrain of Death Valley, has been found alive in Colorado.
Kelsey Pittman, 33, was last in contact with her family in November 2024. According to reliable sources, she was subsequently seen in St. George, Utah, on December 2nd of that year. The trail then went cold.
On February 5th, 2025, law enforcement officials discovered an abandoned 2009 Chevrolet HHR, registered to Pittman, in a remote area of Death Valley National Park. This location, we’re told, is approximately 260 miles from her last known sighting.
The significance becomes clear when we consider the extensive search efforts that followed. Reports indicate that multiple law enforcement agencies, drone teams, cadaver dog handlers, and volunteer search and rescue crews combed the area for months. Despite these efforts, no additional physical evidence was found.
This case raises important questions about missing person investigations and the challenges faced by both families and law enforcement in such situations. The evidence suggests that traditional search methods may not always yield the expected results.
According to the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office, Pittman was located alive in Colorado on July 22nd, 2025. The exact circumstances of her discovery and her current condition have not been disclosed, respecting the privacy of Pittman and her family.
This development follows earlier reports that Pittman may have used aliases such as “Infinity Jane” and “Jane Jones,” information provided by her mother during the investigation.
As this story continues to unfold, it will be crucial to stay informed about the complexities surrounding missing person cases and the resources available for both prevention and resolution.
