Circumstances of Disappearance: Kelly L. Rothwell, 35, of Indian Rocks Beach, Fla., was last seen at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday March 12,2011 as she had lunch with a friend at a restaurant in Pinellas County. An investigation began on Sunday when another friend asked deputies to check on Rothwell at her home where she lives with her boyfriend, 46-year-old David Perry. The friend was concerned for Rothwell’s safety due to “domestic issues” the couple had been experiencing, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Rothwell, who has not returned repeated calls to her cell phone from friends and relatives, did not show up for class Monday at the Pinellas Police Academy in St. Petersburg. Since starting the program in November, she has not missed a day, authorities said. Perry, who is a retired corrections officer, has since traveled to New York, but is refusing to talk to police. Police found no signs of Rothwell or Perry during a search of their residence on Sunday, March 13, 2011. Rothwell’s abandoned car — a green 2007 Subaru Outback — was found later Sunday March 13, 2011 about two miles away. Her case remains unsolved.
