'The last known read message was on May 5th. I texted her again, May 6, 6:30 in the morning, she has not opened a message since then,' said Sandy.
Police found Kemp's abandoned car, and inside the car were her purse with items scattered. Her phone was recovered, but there was no sign of Kemp.
'We didn't hear anything from her. She stopped using her debit card, no responses from her to anybody, and we've always been a very, very close family, so we knew something was wrong,' Sandy said.
