Summary

When 27-year old Air Force spouse, Kelli Abad, went missing after church from Kadena Air Base, Japan, on October 26, 2011 - her husband, Vince, immediately suspected suicide. That is, because according to him, minutes before she vanished, she threatened to take her own life. Kelli’s car was missing for 3 days, eventually turning up parked at Cape Zanpa. Inside Kelli’s car was a note that read, “Love my kids. Love my hubby and parents, bye.” The Air Force has ruled Kelli’s disappearance as a suicide…but her body has never been found.
