$25,000 Reward for Information About Missing Fort Bragg Soldier

Nearing the one year mark of Private First Class Kelli Bordeaux's disappearance, Fort Bragg and Fayetteville, North Carolina officials announced last week that a $25,000 reward is being offered for information about the 23-year-old missing soldier.

Any person with information regarding this incident should contact Special Agent Martin Smith at 910-396-8777 or the Military Police desk at 910-396-0392.

The payout of cash rewards to civilians, military and federal employees for information leading to a conviction is contingent upon their exceptional actions regarding the information provided, according to Ben Abel in a media release from Fort Bragg on Friday.

Bordeaux was last seen wearing black shorts and pink top, on Friday, April 13, before going to Froggy Bottoms, a popular Fayetteville bar. She is 5’1”, 105 pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes, and a small build.

Last year the police interviewed a person of interest, Nicholas Holbert. He was scrutinized by the public for his criminal past, charges dating back from age 16 for indecent liberties with a minor and an aggravated sex offender status.

"As soon as you drive into the entrance to Meadowbrook, she said, 'Stop right here,'" Holbert told ABC News last year. "So I stopped and she said, 'I'll walk home.' I said, 'Are you sure?' She said, 'Yeah.' I said I figured she didn’t want me to know where she lived, or somebody was there and she didn’t want to be seen together."

Over the past year, massive group search parties were coordinated but Bordeaux was never found.

Bordeaux was assigned to the 44th Medical Command at Fort Bragg. View a timeline of related articles here.
