Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP917) and 4 other sources
Kelley Knowles Burgamy, aged 38, was last seen on November 15, 2003, in Dallas, Texas. That evening, she contacted a relative at around 9:00 p.m., informing them that she was on her way home, reportedly taking a bus. However, Kelley never arrived at her destination and has not been heard from since. Despite investigations, very few details have emerged about her disappearance.

At the time of her disappearance, Kelley, who also went by the aliases Shay Marie Knowles or DeShay Knowles, was described as being between 5'6" and 5'7" tall, weighing 110 to 122 pounds. She had sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and was known to wear eyeglasses with plastic frames. She had previously fractured her ankle and undergone eye surgery as a child. Despite efforts by local law enforcement and missing persons organizations, her whereabouts remain unknown, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are unclear.

Kelley’s case remains open and is classified as an unsolved missing persons case. Authorities continue to seek any information that might provide answers to her family and aid in solving this long-standing mystery.
