Sister of missing teen in Rehoboth looking for answers amid ‘a lot of speculation’

REHOBOTH, Mass. (WLNE) — A Rehoboth family is still without answers as police continue to search for a missing 18-year-old girl.

Police scoured the land around County Street on Wednesday, searching for 18-year-old Kylee Monteiro, who was first reported missing on Aug. 7.

“It’s been very difficult, we’re very scared,” Kylee’s sister, Faith Monteiro said. “We hope she’s ok, this is not like her at all, she would never just disappear, the circumstances don’t seem good.”

Kylee is a graduate of Attleboro High School and was three months pregnant when she went missing, according to her sister.

She said Kylee had been living at a house for pregnant homeless women, and went to pick up some belongings from her boyfriend’s house, which was the last anyone heard from her.

“I have so many theories just like everybody else, like I said it’s a lot of speculation,” Faith said. “We really don’t know what happened, so we just have to let the police do their job.”

Police came out in full force, spending hours searching on Wednesday.

“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 said. “But if they don’t find her, I don’t know what the next steps are, and that is worrying to me.”

Warren Upper Reservoir in Rehoboth is one of many locations police were seen searching for Kylee in the County Street area, with a dive team looking in the water.

“We just want somebody to come forward if they know anything,” Faith said. “If there’s anything anybody can do we’d appreciate it.”

ABC6 asked Faith what she’d want people to know about Kylee.

“She’s amazing. She’s so friendly and lovable, she’s outgoing, but also timid at the same time,” she said. “She doesn’t have survival instinct to survive out here on her own. That’s for sure.”

Police cleared out of the area around 2 p.m.

Rehoboth’s police chief told ABC6 he had no updates to share as of Wednesday night.

Faith said the family isn’t giving up, hoping ultimately her beloved sister will return home.

“We just have to keep hope that she’s out there,” she said.
