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.'
