CHARLESTON, WV — Police have confirmed that 17-year-old Rylee Watson has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving her family and community desperate for answers.
Rylee was last seen on July 18, 2025, in Charleston, West Virginia. Since then, there have been no messages, no phone calls, and no signs of her whereabouts.
Her parents describe the chilling moment they went to check her room: her bed was perfectly made, her belongings untouched, but Rylee was gone. Only one detail stood out — a single book left open on her bed, as if abandoned in a hurry.
“It’s every parent’s worst nightmare,” said a family spokesperson. “She didn’t just run away. Something happened — and someone out there knows why.”
