Kesslyn Roberts has been missing since January of 2020, according to the GBI and the Murray County Sheriff's Office.

The father said his daughter left with a man named Andrew Franklin, who he said he believes lived in Calhoun, the report said. 

According to the report, the father went to his daughter's home to speak to her boyfriend, who, in turn, said he hadn't seen her in days.

The father, the police report said, believed Franklin took his daughter to The Bluffs in Atlanta. He told the deputy that he thought the situation was odd, and that normally she did not just leave her vehicle.

The report said that the father sent the money his daughter was asking for, but he still hadn't heard from her in four or five days. He said he thought she may be in danger because the crowd she was hanging with involved gang activity.

According to the deputy's report, the missing woman, Kesslyn Roberts, is on probation and may have had a warrant for missing a probation appointment.
