Overview

  • The Inyo County Sheriff’s Office announced on July 22 that Kelsey Pittman had been found alive in Colorado, bringing an end to her nine-month disappearance.
  • Pittman’s white 2009 Chevrolet HHR was first located on February 9 on private property near Slab City off Highway 190, prompting the missing-person investigation.
  • From February through June, ICSO teamed with Death Valley National Park rangers, drone operators, cadaver dog units and volunteers in exhaustive searches that yielded no additional evidence.
  • Investigators discovered through Pittman’s mother that she had last made contact with Utah law enforcement in November 2024 before the vehicle was reported abandoned.
  • Officials noted she may have used the aliases “Infinity Jane” or “Jane Jones” during her disappearance but have declined to release further information.
