Here is an address (or appox. address) for where she lived in Bixby.
According to her missing poster and news site this address is where she was last seen.
You might want to add it to the map to give an idea how close these areas are. Thanks! I'd do it...but I don't know how!

(This is also Tulsa County)

Here is address for the Walmart, but that wasn't where she was seen last. This is the Bixby Walmart...right near her house...it does have Tulsa address.

Hey Fab, I'm trying to figure out the husbands middle initial. I think it is Robert L. Have you found anything?
I've been looking also. I just found it...and I think it is Robert L. I am looking for anything on him.
 
I hate to say this, but I'm kind of getting the same vibe as what happened in Melissa Best's case. Melissa had gone to the store and then dropped her daughter off at a friend's house. Groceries were found on the counter indicating that she planned on returning home soon. She was last seen on a surviellance video near her home driving. A week or 2 later, her van was found in abandoned in an apartment complex - except she was dead inside the van.

What really happened was after she dropped her daughter, she went to her sister and brother-in-law's (it was her husband's brother) motel room. They did drugs and she ended up ODing. The sister and brother in law took her dead body and van and dropped it off in the apartment complex because who the heck knows - they were scared? In any event both were charged and convicted of a few charges (but I can't recall which ones right now).

FWIW, no one suspected Melissa of doing drugs, it seems. It was never talked about during the whole investigation until she was found inside the van.

The behavior of the husband seems very odd to me - not that it incriminates him, but it makes her appear to have a history of being unreliable.

To report her missing at 5 p.m. the following day, when she'd been then missing for 24 hours makes it appear this wasn't completely unexpected that she'd be out all night long. A bit of a concern, but it came to a crisis when she missed her party at 5. That, and carrying $800 in cash, and having a "players card" that she had used just a week or so before. It just doesn't seem completely hopeless to think that she isn't safe somewhere on an adventure.

Prayers she is found safe.
What bothers me is that he is rarely mentioned in any of the news articles about her disappearance. The stories keep mentioning how worried her children are.

(1) It was either a normal pattern for her...or (2) he didn't care that she came home that night???

Wow...well...I haven't found any evidence of alcohol/drugs at all. Oh my, I hope this isn't the case!
 
Relatives also find it hard to believe that Harris would disappear willingly, even if she were stressed over getting everything done for the party.

"She was nervous about (the cookout), but the Fourth of July was one of her favorite holidays," Shockley said. "She was in a good mood."

I wonder why she was nervous about the party? Was it the fireworks (she did buy a fire extinguisher though)? The people coming? Cooking?
 
Bixby - Bixby Police are hoping an upcoming search warrant will lead to new evidence in the disappearance of a Bixby mother. 48-year-old Kelley Harris was last seen July 3rd.

Police said she was running errands that day to get ready for a party she planned to throw July 4th. Wal-Mart surveillance video places her grocery shopping in the afternoon. Police said her daughter ran into her in the driveway, before Harris left to pick up something from her friend Michael's house. She had told Michael she had to run an errand. When she did not return home, her family reported her missing the next day.

"My mom was kind of the glue of this whole family," said Harris's 24-year-old son, Bradney Chitwood. "She was always the light in the house. Without her here, the place is empty."

Snipped from the link below...

Sergeant Andy Choate said he hopes a search warrant will lead to Harris's belongings. He plans to search the place in question within 24 hours of receiving the warrant.

I wonder if they are going to search the apartments or the the friend's house that she visited.

I pray this turns out fine...and they have some answers for her two children soon!

Did you two find out who the friend named Micheal is?

We just had our second Grandbaby Tuesday. I can't imagine that Kelley would walk away from her daughter who is ready to deliver.

As usual I have more questions, than answers.

I was positive I found him, but the person I found appears crystal clean.

Congrats on the new grandbaby! Have fun spoiling the little one! I can't imagine Kelley walking away from grandbaby or son's wedding.
I just checked news for updates but found none.

I really hope that LE is on the ball in this case, I don't feel good about this. Wish there was more info.... Who is this man she went to visit? She is married right? Family does not know him.... This bugs me, wonder who he is and if they are investigating him thoroughly...

Thank you for well wishes. Spoiling not a problem, restraint may be an issue

I'm finding the husbands behavior a little strange. He doesn't report her missing until 5:00 the following day? Do we know how long they have been married? I did read somewhere that Kelley liked to gamble and it was not unusual for her to stay out late. Is this the reason he was not alarmed, did he think she was out gambling? Going back to the statement that she had $800 in cash with her that night. Did she meet this "friend" at the casino?

Kelley told her daughter in the driveway, she was going to her friend's house. She told the friend, she had an errand to run.

Wondering if she owed someone money, was that the errand?

The reporting in this case has not been very clear, so I may be way off base in all of the above. I still don't know where or what the Detective plans to search?
 
So her bank account has not been touched SINCE July 4, so does that mean there was activity on the 4th? She went missing on the 3rd. Any activity the day after she went missing would be of GREAT interest to the investigation.
Sometimes my bank account won't show something until a day later. Ex...my deposits after 2:00 pm never show up until the next day. I've had some debits don't show up till next day...or a check might clear later. Maybe that is what happened.

I live about half a mile from where her car was found. I've never felt afraid at night around here, but those apartments are well known for drugs...I actually lived in them back in '98. Seems like a really weird place to dump a car being that its a pretty busy place.
 
I just saw a thread in the Unidentified for a body found in New Mexico. They had on a yellow shirt, Nike running shoes and denim shorts. Dark hair in a braid, but it says they thought it might be of Native American descent. I haven't figured out how to link on my new phone. Thoughts???

ETA: Its like 14 hours away so probably not. Just the clothing description is so close. IDK......

What the heck. I do not think it is her, but I called it in to detective. Hope Kelly is found safe!
