Kayla Decker, 35, was last seen in mid-December 2022 while living in Bee Spring, Kentucky. Initial reports placed her at a little league basketball game in Bowling Green on December 16, 2022, but investigators later determined her last confirmed sighting was at a church in that area. Her phone showed its final activity at her home on Old Bee Spring Road in Edmonson County on December 18, 2022.

Nearly six months passed before a social worker officially reported Kayla missing to the Kentucky State Police on June 14, 2023. At the time she disappeared she was a mother of three, had lupus, moved frequently, and was described as outgoing. Investigators found she had left behind essential medication and a cane, there was no activity on her bank accounts, phone records, or social media, her purse was recovered in a pond near her home, and her vehicle was towed from a nearby Dollar General. Her husband, Dearl Dwight Decker, was facing a domestic violence case and is believed to have been the last person to see her; the children were placed in foster care.

Kayla is described as white, 5 feet 6 inches, 130 to 150 pounds, blond hair, hazel eyes, with multiple facial piercings and a large pelvic tattoo. The Kentucky State Police list the case as active. If anyone knew Kayla’s movements or has information about the days after December 16 through December 18, 2022, please come forward.
