My daughter is missing. I had this sickening feeling. Im looking at a desperate man, anything can happen. I wouldve never been able to tell my daughter, your monster, your bogeyman, we will pull up beside you instead of him coming to help you. Come to harm you. Inside the shed there was a green purse theres also a large rock saturated and dry blood. This is not a good sign at all. It is not. Ever been hit in the chest with a sledgehammer, thats about what it feels like. She began coming to and trying to fight, she was trying to turn Emergency Lights on, grabbing the radio, anything she could do. Because she knew, she knew. It was a saturday night, summer, and they were so happy at the Bachelorette Party as they laughed and danced and played their drinking games. Outside in the dark, watchful waiting, hidden its clever disguise, death cruised by. Looking for one of them. All around, the peaceful town tucked into sleep, no ghost, no one to warn them that evil had fooled their defenses and slipped inside to its prey. This is the place here in the wide handsome desert of oregon, the small city of band. And i know occupant of every list of the best places to live in america. Its a nice place to live, i love it here, its perfect. Outdoor recreation heaven on the slopes of the cascade range, rife with rivers and lakes, and rugged mountains. Everything here is about outdoors, connection. And it was home to a beautiful young woman named kayleigh sawyer. This is kayleighs mother, julie. She was probably 17. And she said to me, mom, when people describe me, i want them to describe me as smart and strong and funny. And she was. Yes, and feisty and fearless. Her best friend Naomi Sleep Over buddy and cheerleading partner. I love kayleigh so much, but shes not the most coordinate a person there was, we were probably the best on our team the squad because our communication, we didnt need to speak. We could communicate each other just by looking. I wouldnt really call her a tomboy, i would really call her a girly girl. Somewhere in between. She could look like a model one minute and the scrubby clothes and ready go camping the next. She called her grandmother papa doug, here with Grandma Cheri she was our sunshine, she was just our world. Did you worry about her as a teenager . She had family around. So my worry was, if she left bend, oh my goodness, what if my kayleigh goes up to portland . She wont have a Grandma Sharon there. Well have to move. Well have to go and be with her. That was my worry. That she wouldnt be in bend. Mind you, kayleigh was on her own, it was living with her boyfriend a, young man named cam. I could tell that the moment Kayleigh Met Cam that this was a Good Relationship for her. I could see that she was happy. Cameron and kayleigh loved each other. We were looking they would probably be getting engaged before too long. They were a beautiful couple together, they involved themselves with family, if we had a Family Dinner and everybody knew kayleigh and cam were coming, then it became a holiday. Just kayleigh and cam are coming. Now, if you just figure out what to do with her life. She was going to be a plastic surgeon, shes going to be a policeman, shes going to be a chef, shes gonna be a photographer. The world was hers. She didnt pick one thing. No, but this year, the year she turned 23, that was changing. She held a job for two full years now as a dental assistant. She was my work daughter. Shed follow me around to learn how to do things. Because she really wanted to be the best. Lisa castro was her mentor at the dentist office. And she discovered kayleigh had this rare ability to make people laugh. Even when they werent in the mood or scared. If there was a difficult patient, youd put kayleigh in the room and they would just melt. So, those pretty eyes and that smile. And then . Surprise, surprise. Kayleigh was making plans to enroll in college. Now, she knew what she wanted to do. One day she comes into work and says, ive decided, im gonna become a dentist. So both of them had something to look forward to that saturday night, july 23rd, 2016. Lisa was celebrating her upcoming wedding, a Bachelorette Party. It was for her. Kayleigh had already told lisa and her sister jenna, that she couldnt go. Shed be out of town. But, last minute. I got a text from her saying , guess what, im going to show up here to your party to help celebrate you. But im gonna show up a little late. But ill be there. Thats a great thing, when women get together for a Bachelorette Party especially at our age. It was after 8 pm when kayleigh showed up and at a country bar called mavericks. The party was well underway. She came in a little dress and just looked adorable in it. Indeed she did. Here is photos of kaylee at that party, in that black dress. She was kicking up her heels a little bit, right . She was having fun. But when the bachelorette and her party began to run out of steam, kaylee had a friend left to keep things going. And another board that downtown. I checked him out and said, you girls be safe, youre okay right. And, little before 10 30 pm, she walked out into the night. Happy. A little tipsy, altogether, unaware of what was waiting on the other side of midnight. Coming up. A friend of cams texted him and said, your girlfriends here dancing with another guy. Kaylee out for a night of fun, but where would she be when morning came . The very first message that i looked at was from cam saying , have you seen kaylee . Instantly, i had this sickening feeling in my gut. When dateline continues. Heres Charmin Ultra Strong.

Kaylees mother, julie, was driving home it was late afternoon, sunday, july 24th, the day after the Bachelorette Party. Kaylees mother julie was heading home from a cabin trip. She approached bend at 5 pm, reentered cell phone range. I turned my phone back on and my phone was just pinging and pinging and pinging. And the very first message that i looked at was from cam saying, have you seen kaylee . Have you heard from Kaylee Kaylee . Why would cam be asking her about kaylee . Julies phone tripped over and over. Cam had texted her the same question all day. Youre getting multiple messages. Yeah. Each getting a little more worried . And i called her first. And her phone went to voice mail. Which kaylee let herself Phone Battery go really low. So that wasnt surprising. By then, cameron already tested texted kaylees dad, jamie, as they sat in church. His phone in his pocket kept buzzing. Elbowing him. Whats going on . So, he kind of said, cam doesnt know where kaylee is. Okay. So kaylees dad questioned cam. What did cameron tell you . She went to a Bachelorette Party and they had an argument going home. An argument . It seemed really obvious that she just walked out on the road and probably called a friend to pick her up because she was mad. And that was it. I literally thought, nothing more to it than that. But cam, clearly did. He spent that sunday calling the entire family. Cam called and said, Grandma Sharon, have you heard from kaylee . I said no i havent. Grandma sharon called and said, have you talked to kaylee . Everything is okay, whats going on . I dont even know how many times her phone was going straight to voice mail. I figure she was out with friends, maybe shes ended up staying with them. But the bride to be who said goodnight to that happy young woman was alarmed. Instantly, i had this sickening feeling in my gut. Because thats not kayleigh, she wouldve contacted someone. Or went to someones house. Or whatever. Julie, still driving, trying to comprehend, got a call from cam. Who told her that after the Bachelorette Party, at that other bar, kayleigh had had a few. And was having fun with some other guy. They were dancing. And i guess a friend of cams texted him and said, your girlfriends here dancing with another guy. And so, he went and picked her up. And on the way home they started to argue. Cams story . He parked outside their apartment a little bit after midnight, tempers still hot. He got out of the car, she stayed inside. He told her, come up when youve cooled off. But a few minutes later, out she got, and walked away into the night. It didnt surprise me when he told me that she went for a walk, because she had always done that. When she was younger, and she would get in trouble and i would tell her, you know, you need to go to your room. Chances are, she went to her room and out her window. And shed go for a walk. She had to work it out . She was mad, and you know, she would go for a walk. And that wasnt unusual behavior. Anyway, cam and kaylee lived in a crime free neighborhood, right across the street from the local college. But cam didnt sound so sure of his story. So, where did she go . Why didnt she come back . Why didnt she call anyone . Julie encouraged cam to call police. Which he did, sunday afternoon. Dispatch, how can i help you . Hi, last night i got home for the bars with my girlfriend. She got upset at me and ran off. And i still havent heard from her, her phones off. Okay. Did she pick up walking or something, she was mad . Yeah she walked. She was mad at me. So i walked inside and told her to come and meet me in there she was like, calmed down. And then i went back out in ten minutes, she was gone. And i called a few times, and she said she was walking down the street. Havent heard from her since. As julie neared bend, she worried, would police take it seriously . After all, a grown woman, lovers spat . So julie added a little urgency. And called 911 herself. Dispatch, how can i help you . Yes, i need to have an officer call me. My daughter is missing. And she is over 23. But she has epilepsy and some medical issues. I exaggerated her seizure conditions. When she was younger, she had had seizures. But she hadnt had seizures for a while. But i told them, i was worried about her. How did they react to that . They were concerned about that. They knew that she had been out the night before and she had been drinking, could that have triggered a medical incident . Julie drove straight to the apartment, where she questioned cam. I was frustrated that his story just didnt make sense. And so, i walked out of the apartment and i said, i just needed to go and take a walk and get some fresh air. And while i was out there walking, the officer came and i said to him, i need you to go talk to cam. Because his story doesnt make sense to me. What was going on . And where was Kaylee Sawyer . Coming up. Kaylees mom wasnt the only one troubled by cams story. Did they really have that bad of an argument . Did something bad happened . And what did police think about kaylees sudden disappearance . Did you both agree at that point, something was going on here . Something was off . Yeah, we were talking back and forth, and he said, do we need to get detectives involved, i said yeah, absolutely. When dateline continues.

Sunday evening, july 24, the sun descended toward the cascades. 18 hours after Kaylee Sawyer argued with her boyfriend sunday evening, july 24th, the son descend toward the cascades. 18 hours after katies lawyer argued with her board boyfriend wondered into the dark, her extended family gathered at the apartment she shared with cam. Her father, jamie. Which part of you was suspicious of cam . I thought, did they really have that bad of an argument . Did something bad happen . Your mind when there because , the vast majority of time, when something happens to young woman and someone very close. Cam is a very innocent young man, its hard to believe, he was a nice guy. Its hard to imagine that, but you still do. Remember, cam story troubled kaylees mother to. And Police Officer kyle denny arrived. And park outside the apartment, right across the street from the campus of Central OregonCommunity College. Its on one of the more prestigious areas of town, very nice homes. Very safe area, i would think . Very safe. Officer denny was soon joined by Corporal Ericsson plea. Well denny talk to the family, he found that friend, the girl who had seed Kaylee Dancing at the bar. The one who texted cam, better come get her. A little after midnight, kaylee sent a text message to her friend, im home, everything is okay story about earlier tonight. And then her friend tried to call her just before 1 am, and kaylee didnt answer the phone. Did there seem to be any chance that she wouldnt got back to that guy she had met at the Bachelorette Party . Initially, i thought maybe there is a chance. Did you talk to him . I called him on the telephone. Didnt get kaylees phone number. Didnt give his phone number. It was just kind of, hanging out that night, that was the last he knew or saw of her. And that seemed to make sense to you . It did. So, nothing to disprove anything cam had told them. What was your take on camerons story of what happened . It didnt make sense . The story made sense, it made absolute sense. Officer denny took julie side to address concerns about cam. He was able to come and tell me, its not that his story has changed, his story is evolving, hes remembering things. I think that he, very early on, took on the guilt and the responsibility that if something did happen to her, that maybe it was his fault. I think it was hard for him to retell that story. With me thinking, why didnt you protect her . Why did you just leave her in the car when you guys were arguing . Why do you let go later go off in the night alone . But i never felt that he was involved in harming her. Then, officer denny assembled the family and ask them a question. I said hey, is there anywhere that you would think that you she might be . And i said the motivation to start looking at places where she could be if she was trying to cool off . I remember going up to the campus, and walking the route we were told or assumed that she might have walked that night. A terrifying thing to do, said pompeo. We didnt know where whether we were looking for a body, parts of clothing, a purse. So you are worried something pretty bad had happened . Yes. Petrified. Terrified. I wanted to stay home and i wanted to be there, because, maybe shed come home. Maybe shed come home, maybe should call, let you know . My husband went out and looked for her. We were praying that hed find her. That shes safe. But in a way, you know that somethings wrong. I was praying that he didnt find her. Because i didnt want him to have to find her if somebody had hurt her. Now, for the two officers, a judgment call. She was a grown woman, who was missing, but she had a right to be somewhere else. There was no evidence of foul play. But. Did you both agree at that point, something was going on here . Something was off . We were talking back and forth, do you need to get the detectives in law involved . I said yes, absolutely. Overnight, the first over missing person flyer went out. Law enforcement around Central Oregon. And the next morning, everyone held their breath. Hoping kaylee would simply show up for work at the dentists office. And then theyd all breathe again. I drove in, walked into her workplace and i looked at me and their faces just showed me but they were already thinking. I asked, if hes called in . They just shook their heads. It was heartbreaking, no one cou
