Domestic violence against women hasn’t slowed with time, and a TikToker turned dead following her exposé on her boyfriend. Kayla Kelley’s friends reported her missing after her TikTok video went viral, causing alarm bells in their heads to set off.
Finding The Body
Within a week, the police discovered her dead body and the first suspect was her lying boyfriend, 32-year-old Ocastor Ferguson.
Finding Kelley’s Body
Last week on Jan. 18, the search team finally found Kelley’s dead body buried in a Grand Prairie field. The field was only a few kilometers from the Collin Country Sheriff’s Office.
Hoped For The Best
Sheriff Jim Skinner gave a speech saying they hoped to find Kelley alive but are pleased to move towards closing the case.
Catfished And Heartbroken
Kelley and Ferguson reportedly dated for more than six months since the summer of 2022. They met online when the latter used a pseudonym Kevin Brown until she discovered his secret – he wasn’t who he portrayed himself to be.
The First Suspect
Police investigators visited Ferguson’s workplace since he was the first suspect. He admitted what he could – the affair – and denied what he couldn’t admit – seeing Kelley beyond Jan. 10, the day before she went missing.
Three Counts Against Ferguson
The jail records show that the police booked Ferguson for kidnapping, murder, and arson, as the suspected cause of death is burning. The police discovered her car burned beyond recognition the day after her family and friends reported her missing.
