Fears for missing pregnant teen after troubling final message before disappearance

A pregnant Massachusetts teenager sent a chilling final text to a friend, voicing a sense that something felt 'off' shortly before she disappeared without a trace. Kylee Monteiro, 18, who her family says was 11 weeks pregnant, vanished on August 7 after she was last seen near Country Street in Rehoboth. Her last known location was her boyfriend's house to grab some things, family members told Boston 25 News. Fears are only intensifying in the desperate search, as Kylee's family revealed she had recently argued with her boyfriend - and her haunting final message expressed fear for her safety. 'I don't feel safe right now something's not right,' she texted her friend before she stopped responding completely, according to WCVB News. 'It's been very difficult, we're very scared,' Kylee's sister, Faith Monteiro told ABC 6 News. 'We hope she's ok, this is not like her at all, she would never just disappear, the circumstances don't seem good,' she added. 'I have so many theories just like everybody else, like I said it's a lot of speculation. We really don't know what happened.' On Monday, the Rehoboth Police Department issued a press release about Kylee's sudden and out-of-character disappearance. The statement described the teen as last seen wearing a red T-shirt bearing the phrase 'Get Over It' and likely carrying a white bag she was frequently seen with. Kylee, who graduated from Attleboro High School in June, had been living in a homeless shelter for several weeks amid an 'on and off' relationship with her boyfriend, her sister, Faith, told ABC News. According to Faith, her sister's relationship involved 'domestic issues,' including an incident that allegedly took place the night before she disappeared. On the evening of August 6, Kylee reportedly called Faith and several others after an argument with her boyfriend, expressing fear not only for her safety but for her very life. Although Kylee reportedly told her sister that the argument had settled, she was still described as frantic - her tone conveying an urgent, unspoken plea for help. 'She was desperate for help,' Faith told ABC. 'She was calling out to friends, family, anyone she could, telling them that she was in danger. The whole situation is very scary.' Faith immediately offered to pick her up, but Kylee declined. Still, Faith said her sister wasn't the type to ask a stranger for a ride and 'doesn't know how to survive on her own.' 'The last known time when we heard her voice was Wednesday night,' Faith added to WCVB News. Kitty Monteiro, another sister of Kylee's, wrote to Facebook: 'It's highly unlike her to cut all contact from social media and family. We need to get word out to find any information as soon as possible.' Kylee's last known contact came the day after the phone calls, when she sent a friend the eerie, context-free text message that would be her final communication. 'I tried talking with her after that, and she just stopped responding to me after that,' the unidentified friend told WCVB. 'I just want her to know that like, we miss you, and we're not going to stop trying to find you.' On Tuesday, several officers - including a K-9 unit and dive team - were seen searching along County Street, according to WPRI News. So far, searches have included wooded areas, a nearby pond, and homes around the area where Kylee was last seen - but have turned up nothing. On Wednesday, a full police presence was back on the ground, spending hours combing through previously unsearched areas, as reported by ABC 6. 'There's a little bit of relief knowing that there's people out there looking for her and they're not going to stop until they find her,' Faith told the outlet. 'But if they don't find her, I don't know what the next steps are, and that is worrying to me.' Kylee is described as 6 feet tall, with light brown hair and brown eyes. In addition to her red 'Get Over It' T-shirt, she was last seen wearing ripped blue jeans and tan boots. 'She's amazing. She's so friendly and lovable, she's outgoing, but also timid at the same time,' Faith added. 'She doesn't have survival instinct to survive out here on her own. That's for sure.' 'We just have to keep hope that she's out there.'

Migrant hotel resident accused of sexually assaulting three women in as many weeks

The resident of an asylum hotel near Gatwick Airport has been charged with sexually assaulting three women in a three-week period. Qais Al-Aswad, 26, who resides at Four Points By Sheraton Hotel, Brighton Road, Horley, Surrey has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Today, at Staines Magistrates' Court a trial date of August 20 was set. Al-Aswad is charged with sexually assaulting the women in Horley, Surrey on May 23; June 4 and June 12. He has been remanded in custody at HMP Wandsworth and his solicitors have asked for time to apply for Legal Aid. He will also require an Arabic interpreter for the trial. Al-Aswad was not produced in court today as HMP Wandsworth has suffered a power outage. The four star Sheraton Hotel lies just a few kilometres north of Gatwick on the bank of the River Mole. It boasts 110 rooms as well as a fitness and business centre and TV room. The four star hotel (pictured) lies just a few kilometres north of Gatwick on the bank of the River Mole. It boasts 110 rooms as well as a fitness and business centre and TV room In recent weeks, several anti-immigration protests have taken place outside asylum seeker accommodation across the country amid widespread discontent with the Government's handling of the small boats crisis. The Bell Hotel in Epping has been at the epicentre of these protests after an Ethiopian migrant was charged with a series of sexual offences. Hadush Kebatu, 38, is alleged to have put his hand on a 14-year-old schoolgirl's leg, asked her for a kiss and suggested they make 'Jamaican babies' in Epping over two days, Chelmsford Magistrates' Court was told. He had arrived in the UK by small boat days prior to the alleged offences being committed, said to have happened between July 6 and 9. Kebatu appeared in court last month to deny three charges of sexual assault against two girls aged 14 and 16, inciting a 14-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity and harassment without violence. A migrant residing in the same hotel was charged with a litany of unrelated offences including sexual assault Mohammed Sharwarq, a Syrian national living at the Bell Hotel in Epping, faces seven charges linked to offences alleged to have been committed between July 25 and August 12. The 32-year-old is facing two counts of common assault, four counts of assault by beating and a single count of sexual assault on a man, contrary to section 3 of the Sexual Offences Act 2002. Essex Police said they arrested a 32-year-old man after being called to the Bell Hotel in Epping on August 12 before taking him in for questioning. Sharwarq was then charged and was due to appear in court on Wednesday. The Bell Hotel has been at the epicentre of a series of anti-immigration protests held outside asylum seeker accommodation after a separate incident in which an Ethiopian migrant was charged with a series of unrelated sexual offences. And it is not the only hotel which has been a focal point for protestors. Earlier today chaos erupted outside the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf which houses migrants, after a man believed to be staying there allegedly walked into a woman's house. The man is said to have entered the house after being followed by a group of men on the street and told to 'go back to the hotel' where anti-migrant protesters were gathered outside. The Met Police said the man had not been charged 'as our initial investigation has not identified any offences'. They refused to say if he was a migrant staying at the hotel. The hotel has been a focus of protests in recent weeks after Tower Hamlets Council confirmed it had been handed over to the Home Office to house asylum seekers.
