A missing person investigation in Missouri has been reclassified as a homicide case, according to police reports on Thursday afternoon.
According to WGEM, Quincy Police announced that the investigation into the whereabouts of Britney D. Hoffman-Kelly has now been taken over by St. Charles Police, who have determined it to be a homicide investigation.
Police say evidence suggests that Hoffman-Kelly is deceased, though her remains have not yet been located.
Investigators are seeking information from the public, specifically regarding a 2020 Audi with Illinois registration ET 25911, which was seen between December 18 and December 20. Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact the Quincy Police Department at 217-228-4470.
Sgt. Adam Gibson of the Quincy Police Department stated, “Evidence has been obtained in St. Charles, as well as from the vehicle, that has led us to believe Ms. Hoffman-Kelly is deceased.”
Capt. Raymond Floyd of the St. Charles Police Department added, “We’re still in the process of analyzing some of that evidence, along with cellphone records and various computer equipment, to pinpoint Chad Kelly’s movements after he left the hotel in St. Charles.”
Authorities also confirmed that 33-year-old Chadwick Kelly of Quincy, Illinois, who was shot by police during a standoff on December 20 in La Belle, Missouri, is now considered a suspect in Hoffman-Kelly’s death.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
