Kyla Porter was 19 when she was last seen on February 15, 2008, in Holiday, Florida. That evening she phoned her sister to say she was at a party and would be home in about an hour; she never returned and has not been heard from since. Kyla had recently moved back to Florida from Georgia after her fiancé was jailed on drug charges and was then living with her older sister.

Her family waited about two weeks before reporting her missing because Kyla had a pattern of taking short absences but usually stayed in touch. They say she left behind all her personal belongings, including her purse and medication. Rumors place her at a party in Moon Lake, a swampy area near her home, but that has not been confirmed. Multiple searches and interviews have produced no substantial leads, and no persons of interest have been publicly named. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
