As the one-year mark approaches since 15-year-old Kylie Arellano vanished from her home in the small Rich County community near Bear Lake, her disappearance continues to weigh heavily on her family, friends, and all those who have followed the case. Despite months of searching and countless efforts from authorities and volunteers, Kylie remains missing, and the uncertainty surrounding her fate has left a painful void that time has not softened.
Kylie was last seen at approximately 10:52 p.m. on May 29, 2025, at her residence in Garden City, Utah. Her mother, Stephanie Coleman, reported her missing the following day after losing contact. From that moment forward, an extensive search effort was launched, involving the Rich County Sheriff’s Office along with local, state, and federal partners. Investigators have emphasized that no lead has been ignored, and multiple tips and possible sightings have been thoroughly followed up, though none have been confirmed.
Authorities continue to stress their commitment to the case. The sheriff’s office has stated that they are actively working alongside partner agencies, including federal task forces, to explore every possible avenue. Sheriff Dale Stacey and his deputies have publicly addressed concerns and reaffirmed that Kylie’s case remains a priority, underscoring that the search is ongoing and far from closed.
Kylie’s family, especially her mother, has remained outspoken and determined throughout the past year. Stephanie Coleman has shared her heartbreak and frustration while also holding on to hope. She has worked tirelessly to distribute flyers, raise awareness, and keep her daughter’s name in the public eye. In past statements, she has expressed concerns that Kylie may have been influenced or coerced, while also noting that there was no confirmed digital or surveillance trail after her disappearance.
Kylie Arellano is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing approximately 115 pounds, with chin-length brown hair, brown eyes, and black braces. She also has tattoos. She would now be 16 years old. Her case remains listed in national missing persons databases, including NamUs and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Community members, volunteers, and private investigators have all contributed to search efforts, including K-9 teams and independent leads. Some have raised concerns about potential trafficking, though no evidence has been confirmed publicly.
As the anniversary of her disappearance nears, the message from authorities and loved ones remains the same: the search for Kylie continues. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Rich County Sheriff’s Office at 435-793-2285, case #25-R308, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.
