Kelli Bordeaux Missing: Missing Fort Bragg Soldier May Be In Danger, Cops Say (SLIDESHOW)

Investigators believe that a missing Fort Bragg soldier could be in danger.

Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux, a 23-year-old Army combat medic, was last seen on Saturday leaving the Froggy Bottoms bar in Fayetteville, N.C. -- and new information suggests that she "may be in danger," investigators told WRAL-TV.

Investigators didn't elaborate on the new details.

Friends and family told the station that tardiness is out of character for Bordeaux, who was labeled a missing person when she failed to show up for duty on Monday.

"Kelli is a good soldier," her sister, Olivia Cox, told the station. "Kelli is not a soldier who would go AWOL."

Cops said she disappeared after leaving the bar at about 1:20 a.m. At some point that morning, two text messages were sent from her phone. One said, "got home safely," according to CNN. It's yet unclear who the text was sent to or what the contents of the second text was.

Bordeaux's mom, Johnna Henson, told cops that a yet-unidentified individual gave the soldier a ride to the bar, where she sang karaoke. Henson doesn't believe that her daughter reached her home, despite the texts.

The soldier has been married to her civilian husband for two years.

"I can't function not knowing where she is. How can someone hurt her?" Henson told ABC News. "I lost my mother and my husband within a three months span. I can't deal with losing my child. I can't deal with anymore loss."

Bordeaux is 5 feet tall and weighs 99 pounds. She was last seen wearing a pink halter top and black shorts. Anyone with information is asked to contact Fayetteville Police at [phone] or CrimeStoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477).

Bad things in happen in bars after midnight. This story line seems to play out again and again and again, whether it be dumb athletes or vulnerable women.

You are right about that, and I have been meditating on this case as a psychic and hope the information I have gathered will help them find her and solve the case.
I see a black car connected to this case and I have no idea what kind of a car the man drove who reportedly gave her a ride and says he dropped her off but what i see is a black car going right from the bar and there is an altercation and a slap and i feel the man killed Kelli and dumped her along the highway and I am being shown a spot to the right, perhaps he left the highway and parked and got fresh and she slapped him and he lost control and killed her.
Shes been gone a while and I blieve we are now looking to recover and charge someone with her murder.

Interesting. Have had a few experiences with what many scoff at, I guess you might call it the paranormal. My thing is contacting spirits. Most notable was meeting my daughters invisible playmate, who by the way, is still around even though she's in her 40's.

Yet another military woman stationed in North Carolina who is missing. Several others in the past few years have been found slaughtered by military spouses/boyfriends. Let's pray this is not the case with Ms. Bordeaux.

I don't like the way the guy look in those photos, the cops should check him out first. That said, I hope this woman is found soon. When will females realize that guys will take advantage of them when they're drunk and out alone at night, you see these types of stories everyday on the news. A drunk woman is asking to be a victim.

I just saw on the news that she left this bar and accepted a ride home from a bartender who happens to be a sex offender. He was questioned and released. I'm wondering why would she be in a bar alone without the husband at 1:30am? and why would she even think to accept a ride from this guy? they are searching a pond near the bar this morning. this doesn't sound good for this young woman. Sad

There was a different article in HP about how a woman would go to bars even if she didn't drink. I said I never go to bars because I read a lot of stories like this one, where bad things happen on the way to, while there, and on the way home from bars and clubs. In other stories I read like this rape and murder are usually the end results. I sure hope that's not the case here.

Lets hope they find her, when we were in the military we always went out in groups, back then they warned us about civilians not liking the soldiers. We listened. Our thoughts are with her family and husband..

How Sad and i Pray they find her safe and unharmed but, imo it isnt sounding to promising for her safe return.The story says her mother told reporters about her daughter but, what i'm wondering she's marrried the story reports so where is the husband? and why is he not being interviewed about his wife?They only mention his name to say she is married to him and thats it but they show quite a few pictures with him. That doesnt make sense to me. I hope her mother doesnt have to go through anymore heartache than she already has.
God Bless You Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux

99.9% of the time when the news decides to print something like this. The missing person involved is found dead! I wonder why!

[AnonymouseFTW]

09:27 AM on 04/19/2012

Because missing persons cases don't always end in happy TV reunions? And the odds of abducted individuals returning alive aren't ideal after 24 hours?

OMG, when are women going to wise up, wise up...I just want to scream in their faces, it is so russian roulette to leave a bar alone at closing and probably drunk. MY God, this was 100% preventable.

[Ganji]

12:59 AM on 04/19/2012

I was thinking the same thing..i know some people will say victim blaming..but people need to understand human rights don't exist and one needs to be aware that people rarely have good intentions so it's best to keep one eye open and not put oneself in preventable situations like you said

Angelout's comment is the only one that makes sense here, these women bring these problems on themselves..she was not a teen, she is old enough too practice commen sense
it's obviously she was out looking for thrills and she found them in the wrong way. why was she not home with her husband...
