Laurel County woman reported missing after last contact near Keavy, authorities ask public for information

A Laurel County woman has been reported missing after family said they last made contact with her around midnight on Oct. 28, according to WKYT. The report identifies the missing person as 25-year-old Julieann C. Smith and says her last known contact occurred in the Keavy area.

WKYT’s report states that the contact was made around midnight on Oct. 28. After that time, family members reported that they were unable to reach Smith, prompting the missing persons report and local public-safety response.

The report does not detail Smith’s route, means of travel, or any specific circumstances surrounding her disappearance, beyond locating the last contact in the Keavy area of Laurel County. With those details not provided in the initial report, investigators and the public are left with the limited timeline of the last confirmed contact.

As with other missing-person investigations, law enforcement relies on tips from the public, including information about any sightings or interactions after the last contact time. Community members may be asked to consider whether they noticed Smith, her vehicle, or any behavior that could help narrow down where she may have gone following Oct. 28.

Because the published report focuses on the last contact window and the missing person’s identity, additional information such as clothing descriptions, physical characteristics, or an official contact number for tips is not included in the material provided here. Those items are typically part of later public updates, and further reporting may add details as investigators develop leads.
