Early life
Kelly was born in 1968 in
Virginia to a woman named "
Brenda" who was living with Kelly's stepfather at the time. Kelly never knew her biological father. She grew up with a younger sister. Her early life was described as normal and stable, until her parents separated in 1971. They divorced the following year. Four months later Brenda remarried to a man who was abusive to all of them. The marriage lasted 7 years during which Brenda had a child with this man, however she gave the baby away to nearby farmers. After that marriage collapsed, Brenda remarried again, however it tragically ended when her husband killed himself in December of 1979.
For the next 2 years, Kelly lived with her family in
Charlottesville, Virginia. She and her sister stayed with an aunt while their mother, Brenda, resided in
Virginia Beach. Kelly and her sister stayed with this aunt for about 1.5 years until Kelly moved into her mother's home at her request. Kelly dropped out of high school in the 10th grade and got a job on the beach at a
kiosk selling jewelry. She and her mother had to move 3 or 4 times after the summer of 1983, because Brenda had trouble paying rent. Sometime between 1984 and 1985, Kelly (who was then living in
Florida) called the aunt she stayed with previously asking to move in with her because she couldn't handle her mother's
cocaine addiction. However, this living arrangement didn't last long because Kelly herself was addicted to cocaine. She returned to Florida where she underwent
drug rehabilitation in 1986.
After completing rehab, Kelly moved back in with the same aunt this time in
Texas as the aunt's husband was in the military and was stationed there. Kelly's aunt noticed "sexy clothing" in her suitcase suggesting that she was already doing work as a topless dancer. Kelly explained to her aunt that she was a dancer to get access to drugs and because it made her a lot of money. She then lived with a boyfriend, however she left him and relocated to
Little Rock, Arkansas where she stayed from 1986 until 1989. Kelly then returned to her mother's house in Florida only this time her younger sister stayed with them. The sister left just a few months later after a humiliating stay during which their mother entered her into a bikini contest for money. Kelly left her mother in 1990 and moved to
Norfolk, Virginia. In 1991, she decided to go to
Dallas, Texas.
