Loved ones fear the worst as police, K9s scour Mass. town for missing pregnant teen

REHOBOTH, Mass. — Friday marks the eighth day that 18-year-old Kylee Monteiro has been missing.

Monteiro, who is 11 weeks pregnant, was last seen on Thursday, August 7, at her boyfriend’s home in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, according to family, friends, and law enforcement.

“This has been a brutal week for all of us,” Juliette Piette, a close relative of Monteiro, told Boston 25 on Thursday. “Please, just come home. We love you and we miss you.”

Monteiro’s family says she was last seen at her boyfriend’s home on County Street, a week after she learned she was pregnant.

Friends have mentioned that there were some domestic issues between Monteiro and her boyfriend, although the exact nature of these issues is unclear.

Loved ones are actively hoping for her safe return, emphasizing that it is highly unlikely for Monteiro to cut off all contact with them or with people on social media.

Delaney Potter, a friend of Monteiro, fears the worst as the desperate search continues.

“I just want her to be found,” Potter told Boston 25 news reporter Daniel Coates.

When Coates asked Potter, “Do you believe she’s still out there?” She responded, “Yes, but I don’t believe she’s alive.”
