Kelly Rothwell remains a bright light in all those whose paths she crossed while on this earth. Despite a controlling 3 1/2 year relationship her light continues to shine with the help of the CUE Center for missing persons as they work to bring her home.
At the time of her disappearance Kelly Rothwell, a cadet was completing her training at the police academy in Florida. With a month left to go before graduation, she was in the process of moving forward with her life minus the abusive relationship.
According to sources her boyfriend, a former New York correctional officer had been tracking her cell and computer activities. While he appeared to be supportive of her new career path in public, behind closed doors she paid the price.
On March 12, 2011, after having lunch with a friend, she returned to the residence a final time to pick up a few things and head over to her new home. It would be the last time anyone would see her bright smile, shine.
In relationships it is important to equip one's self with the proper tools before announcing "it is over." That, is what cost Kelly Rothwell her life. Unfortunately, Kelly Rothwell's life mirrors thousand of others across the county, victims of intimate partner violence, trying to break away from their abusive relationships with their lives in tact.
Today on the show "Time's Up" we spoke about Kelly's case with her best friend Donna Sharrett and Monica Caison, founder of the Cue Center for Missing Persons. A national organization providing expert assistance to families without charge in finding their missing loved one and supporting the families until they are recovered and brought home.
We also had as a guest Sandra Brown, MA, founder of Safe Relationships Magazine and author of the bestselling books "How to Stop A Dangerous Man" and "Women Who Love Psychopaths."
It was an amazing hour. To listen and learn how to leave a potentially dangerous relationship, the re-broadcast has been provided.
