"I don't feel safe. Something's not right." These were the last words anyone received from Kylee Monteiro before she vanished without a trace on August 7, 2025. At just 18 years old and 11 weeks pregnant, Kylie had everything to live for - a high school diploma fresh in hand and a future full of possibilities.

The disappearance of this young woman from Rehoboth, Massachusetts has left a community searching for answers and a family desperate for her return. Described by loved ones as timid and not particularly street-savvy, Kylee’s sudden silence speaks volumes. Her sister Faith puts it plainly: if she's not calling or posting on social media, something is wrong. This isn't a teen who would simply walk away from her life, especially not while expecting a child.

We delve into the troubling timeline surrounding Kylee’s disappearance, including reports of an argument with her boyfriend shortly before she went missing. We examine the massive search effort that has mobilized in response - from police deploying canine units, helicopters and dive teams, to volunteers combing miles of terrain on foot. The small town of Rehoboth, about 50 miles south of Boston, now finds itself at the center of a mystery that has residents locking their doors and keeping closer watch on their loved ones.

Kylee stands six feet tall with light brown hair and blue-brown eyes. When last seen, she wore a red t-shirt with "Get over it" printed on the front, ripped blue jeans, and tan boots. If you have information that could help bring her home, please contact authorities immediately. Every missing person has a story, every family deserves answers, and your tip could be the missing piece that solves this case. Share Kylee’s story - her life and her unborn child's life may depend on it.

If you live in Massachusetts—or know someone who does—please share Kylee’s story. Police are asking anyone with information to contact Trooper Sabrina Hinchey at (508) 972-1041, or Detective Paul McGovern with the Rehoboth Police Department at (508) 252-3722, extension 1135.
