Kelly Rothwell Missing: Mystery, Pain Linger One Year After Police Cadet's Disappearance

An undated photo of missing Florida police cadet Kelly Rothwell.

Family and friends of missing Florida police cadet Kelly Rothwell marked the one-year anniversary of her still-unsolved disappearance on Monday.

Rothwell's best friend, Donna Scharrett, did not mince words during a press conference at the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.

"Kelly Rothwell is dead, and her body is out there. It's out there dumped like a piece of trash. She doesn't deserve that. ... That's not where she needs to be," Scharrett said.

According to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, Rothwell's case remains a top priority.

"We're gonna keep going. We'll never stop," Gualtieri said. "We'll keep going until we find Kelly, whether it's tomorrow, a week, a month, a year or 10 years."

There has been no arrest in the case.

Rothwell, 35, was last seen on March 12, 2011, when she left a restaurant in Clearwater, Fla., with Scharrett.

"We had lunch together at Chili's restaurant and about 3:30 p.m. said goodbye in the parking lot," Scharrett told The Huffington Post. "That's the last time anyone heard [from] her."

Rothwell had recently left a hotel job to enroll in the Pinellas Police Academy in St. Petersburg, Fla. She was planning to break up with longtime boyfriend David Perry, according to Scharrett, who described him as "controlling."

Speaking with TV host Nancy Grace in March 2011, Ken Williamson, a neighbor who lives below the couple's condo, said his wife heard a series of loud noises coming from above that afternoon.

"Mary, my wife, was inside at the time," Williamson said. "It was probably around -- oh, sometime around 4:00 on the 12th, and she heard a series of loud thuds up above the ceiling where our bedroom is directly below their master bedroom. And somebody, like, threw something heavy on the floor three or four times. And then it got real quiet."

A short time after that, Williamson said, they heard somebody upstairs vacuuming.

Scharrett called the sheriff's office on March 13 and asked deputies to check on Rothwell after mutual friends told her Rothwell had failed to show up for a planned get-together. When deputies arrived at the condo, there was no sign of the couple and both their cars were gone. Later that day, they found Rothwell's green 2007 Subaru Outback on a street about two miles south of her home.

Detectives later discovered that Perry, a 47-year-old retired corrections officer, had left Florida for New York. He has since repeatedly ignored requests to be interviewed, the sheriff's office said.

In June 2011, authorities in Florida named Perry a suspect in Rothwell's disappearance. Two months later Perry married a woman he had met online. The couple divorced in November. In the interim, Perry was arraigned on unrelated insurance fraud and grand larceny charges in Elmira, N.Y.

Investigators have conducted multiple searches for Rothwell, but to date they have been unable to locate any sign of her.

"Kelly's remains could be anywhere from Indian Rocks Beach to New York," Gualtieri said. "It really is looking for a needle in a haystack."

Rothwell's family is offering a $25,000 reward for anyone who has information leading to her whereabouts. On Monday, Gualtieri announced his department would match the amount with confiscated drug money, bringing the total to $50,000.

"It's so important to her family and friends that there be some kind of resolution," Gualtieri said. "We want closure for the family."

Scharrett echoed the sheriff's statement.

"The only thing I hope for -- from Day 1 -- is that we find Kelly's remains and get them back to her mother," Scharrett said. "I know justice will be done."

David Lohr will be discussing the Kelly Rothwell case on HLN's "Nancy Grace" on Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST.

At about 2:30 a.m., DiSilvestro placed two calls -- one to his mother and one to his grandmother. Both calls went unanswered. What happened to DiSilvestro after that remains a mystery.

• Susan Powell

  Susan Powell was reported missing by her family on Dec. 7, 2009, when she failed to show up for her job as a stockbroker at Wells Fargo Financial. Her husband, Josh Powell, told police he had been camping with their two children, then ages 2 and 4, and had last seen his wife around midnight. Suspicious of his story, investigators named Powell a "person of interest" in his wife's disappearance. Not long after, Powell and his two children moved back to his hometown of Puyallup, Wash. On Feb. 5, 2012, police say Josh Powell attacked his two boys, Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, with a hatchet and then set his home on fire, killing the three of them in a gas-fueled explosion.

has anyone talked to his ex wife? Since she met and married him AFTER this happened, she may have seen something or heard something or something he said to threaten her like I killed someone before and I'd do it again.

story makes no mention if they did a csi job on the apartment and if anything was found. I suspect no or nothing was found because if they had anything then they could press charges and extradite the boyfriend

[aphextwin07]

sounds kind of obvious the boyfriend did it, maybe the authorities need to be more pressing than just "requesting to interview" him?

[debnran]

09:50 PM on 04/30/2013

Unfortunately, they need evidence to do more than question him. They could have had their chance when he got into trouble with the law in New York because they could have done some sort of plea deal with him.

They lived in a condo someone had to see something....How do you get a body out without anyone seeing something? Also both cars were gone he had to have help. If he don't get caught now ...he will pay later he won't be going up he will be in a very HOT climate !!!

She is where Casey Anthony expected Cayleigh would be after she dumped her body in a Florida swamp. Inside a gator. They could find a body part of Kelly's in Perry's watch pocket and a Florida jury would acquit, so why should the cops even bother?

[seriously77]

why do people like us, non-officers, have to state the obvious? Perry did it. Why are the police not jumping on this/him?

Because you don't know what you are talking about.

"He has repeatedly ignored requests to be interviewed". Since he was the boyfriend who she described as 'controlling', and was planning to break up with him, why would his not complying to the interview be an option?

So her boyfriend, David Perry, can just move and refuse to be questioned? He’s been named as a suspect – not a person of interest – and he can just refuse an interview? If he was arrested for something else, couldn’t he have been questioned about Kelly’s disappearance at the same time? I don’t get it. Reading this, I get that theoretically, you can murder someone, dispose of their body, and just refuse to talk to police. Are there any lawyers or law professors out there that can explain this to me?

HAve you ever heard of the Mirnada Warning?. That applies even before you are aressted.

Yes, I understand that people have the right to remain silent. They also have the right not to answer questions by invoking the 5th Amendment. It just boggles my mind that it’s so easy to get away with murder. First of all, by not talking to LE this guy looks guilty. People with a clear conscience don’t have a problem with that. In fact, most people whose loved ones go missing usually want to clear themselves as soon as possible so that LE can focus on other suspects and evidence and try to get the case solved quickly. In this case, Perry has all the rights, and poor Kelly has absolutely none. There has to be a way to question on this guy. I’m tired of victims constantly being victimized. What about Perry’s second wife, does she have anything to say about all this?

It's obvious the boyfriend did her in. Why don't they just go up there, beat the daylights out of him until he talks and tells them where her body is? Then shoot him. Oh yea, right, legally they can't. Well, the cops gotta know some 'out of work' mobster hit men that need a break.

Ha Ha Ha. Really? LMAO thats the best you could come up with? Florida, Again? Please use some intelligence when commenting on stories, or do some research, because in your mind Florida is the only state in which crime happens and is the only state which is housing corrupt cops. I have to throw the BS card at you for this inept post. Pull OFF your rose colored glasses and take a look around you IT HAPPENS IN EVERY STATE! But then again it is much easier to trash talk isn't it than to form a relevant comment. Have a lovely day!

Well it seem obviously that her boyfriend is the one that harmed her-and it sound like he was waiting to do so-because all he did was vacuum. Which he did what? If there was no blood splatter? So no weapon no body-leaves alot of questions. But the fact he was a correctional officer-makes you wonder if he did it or had someone do it for him. If he did then his bank account would show that-or a credit card. Did he make purchases at a hardware store-did he rent a storage unit-sometimes controlling people like to store the body. Did he ask a favor of some one to dump something in a incinerater-don"t prison facilites have those? I'd also see if he had been talking to a particular inmate-I would look into every person he processed. And every aspect of his life cell phone-gas stations-grocery store-all these places have camera's. And people are creatures of habit. My question too is did they find the vacuum and process it-even if the bag was taken the bristles would show what was on the floor. I hope and pray that they can find her and convict him-and anybody that helped him.

If she was strangled, it is quite possible that there would be nothing evidentiary. After all, it was her bedroom also, so finding her hairs, dna, etc. would be expected.
