A 29-year-old vanished on a solo trip across the country after she last seen leaving a burger joint in Oregon, deputies said.Kaylee Birt disappeared April 4, the Harney County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.
Birt left the The Fields Station in her gold 2008 Chevy Malibu with an Oregon license plate of GW21073, deputies said.
The Fields Station is a restaurant, store, motel and gas station in Fields, which is a remote and unincorporated community in southeastern Oregon.
She was headed to Iowa, deputies said, but her vehicle was discovered abandoned April 6 in a remote part of Harney County in Oregon, deputies said.
Deputies said they determined a location where her cell phone last pinged, and they searched the area but couldn’t find her.
Search teams looked for her for seven days by “air, ground, UTV, drone, foot and horseback,” deputies said.
However, authority-led search efforts ended April 10.
“The Sheriff’s Office will post signage near Kaylee’s last known location, informing visitors to the area to be vigilant of any potential evidence,” deputies said.
