Kathleen “Kathy” Keller became interested in missing persons when her son’s friend’s niece, Taylor Behl, went missing. She then began following Morgan Harrington’s case which led her to CUE Center for Missing Persons.
Kathy attended her first CUE Conference when Morgan was honored at the Candlelight Vigil. Meeting and riding the bus with Travis Baker’s parents “tugged at her heart.” In 2014, she told her husband that she wanted to get a puppy or start volunteering. Happily, she did both. Lizzy, her puppy, is her constant companion, she then contacted CUE Founder, Monica Caison, and the rest is history.
Kathy Keller is a member of the Board of Directors and volunteers to do administrative tasks including entering cases, updating the website, office work, and entering Silver and Amber Alerts for CUE.
Kathy studied Early Childhood Education in college and while in high school received her cosmetology license. She loved working with children and taught children with special needs for 34 years.
Kathy has been married to her husband, Craig for 47 years. She has three children; Craig Jr., Melissa, and John along with nine grandchildren; Tyler, Hunter, Savannah, Jayden, Madison, Ma’Lae, Ariel, Matthew, Amelia, and one more that is due in May of 2020.
Kathy enjoys going to the beach with her husband to sit and listen to the ocean, renews her faith in Jesus, and spending time with her grandchildren, who keep her young.
Kathy says, “I am honored and humbled to be a small part of helping and comforting the families of the missing. We truly are a family and need support from each other. I feel volunteering with CUE was my purpose in life and I am thankful to have found such a wonderful organization.”
To the victims’ families, Kathy says, “never give up hope…and always remember we are here for you to call on and lean on us.”
