Angela Ladawn Kelton-McManes, known as Angel, was 43 when she was last seen at her home in Jal, New Mexico, on May 14, 2019. At the time she vanished she was wearing a gray t-shirt and pink sweatpants. Family say she left behind eyeglasses, her only bra, cigarettes, her cell phone, money, and crucial diabetes medication—items they believe she would not have left if she intended to be away.
Angel was in poor health and dependent on that medication. She is described as a white female, 4 feet 11 inches, about 90 pounds, with hazel eyes and short black hair. Distinct tattoos include Sexy on the back of her neck, Tinkerbell on her left breast, Angel on her right breast, a red-eyed tree frog on her left calf, and a smiley face on her right calf. The Jal Police Department investigated and the Lea County Sheriff’s Office later assisted, but the case has gone cold and there are few leads. Her sister reported her missing about a month after she was last seen.
Does anyone in or near Jal remember seeing Angel after May 14, 2019, or know where she might have gone?
