The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help finding 31-year-old Kaitlyn Donnelly, who hasn’t been heard from since a phone contact more than two weeks ago. Investigators say she is believed to be somewhere in the Baltimore area, though her exact whereabouts remain unknown.

Last Contact Came by Phone More Than Two Weeks Ago

According to a missing person alert posted Tuesday morning by the Office of Stafford County Sheriff - David “DP” Decatur, Sheriff, the last contact made with Donnelly was by phone on October 12.

The alert identifies Donnelly as investigators work to locate her.

Believed to Be Near Baltimore

Deputies say Donnelly is believed to be in the Baltimore area.

Anyone with information on Donnelly’s whereabouts is asked to contact the sheriff’s office’s emergency dispatch center at 540-658-4400, or to call 9-1-1 if the situation is an emergency, the same report notes. The alert was shared publicly as a community request shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday.

Missing-person cases in Virginia are also tracked through a statewide system. The Virginia Department of State Police operates a missing-persons clearinghouse described as the Commonwealth’s center for missing persons, linked to law enforcement agencies across the state. It remains unclear whether Donnelly’s case has a separate listing within that statewide system.
