Colorado issues statewide alert for missing 21-year-old girl last seen more than 100 miles away from home



Gone: Kelsie Schelling, 21, went missing on February 4 after being last seen in Pueblo, Colorado

A statewide alert has been issued Tuesday for a missing 21-year-old Denver student who was last seen a week ago more than 100 miles away from home.

Kelsie Jean Schelling lives in Larimer Square in Denver, but according to police, the 21-year-old was last spotted in Pueblo, Colorado, on February 4.



Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson called Schelling's disappearance 'out of character,' but added that police do not suspect foul play at this point.



According to investigators, Schelling's car also has gone missing, and they believe that locating the vehicle would bring them closer to finding the student, Fox 31 reported.



Officials are now searching for the black 2011 Chevy Cruze LTZ with the license plate 023-WRL.



Schelling, who will turn 22 next week, is described as being 5 foot 4 inches and weighing about 120lbs with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.



Police say the woman has a trio of tattoos on her body, including a fleur-de-lis on her rib cage, a Chinese symbol on her neck and a cursive scrawl on her left arm.



Schelling's parents launched a Facebook page called Help Find Kelsie to spread the word about their missing daughter.

Concerns: Police say they do not believe foul play played a role in Schelling's disappearance, but some friends on Facebook mentioned that she and her boyfriend have been having problems

Several commenters wrote that Schelling and her boyfriend, a man identified as Dante, have had a rocky relationship lately.



'She always complained about them fighting,' wrote friend Micah Brandon Gagnon. 'She also told me she had to buy a new phone because he broke her old one...'



However, another friend Mellisa Houghtelling said that the 21-year-old's boyfriend told her that he is just as worried as the rest of her loved ones about Schelling.
