I agree, DDDDD…many of us have hearts and are hoping for that miracle that brings Kayla home safe and sound. I think the ones who were so sure that she was a runaway are now changing their minds and realizing what this horrible situation really has become for this family. Hope, don’t stop reading this site just because of a few inconsiderate morons. There are plenty of us who pray everyday for you and your family, especially for Kayla. Be assured that God is watching and waiting to someday let us know what happened to Kayla and where she is.
Good article in the Journal today about Kayla.

The plot thickens according to the ADJ…
The plot thickens according to the ADJ…
An arrest has been made in the missing Kayla Berg case, according to the Antigo Daily Journal. Kevin Kielcheski has been charged with 2nd degree recklessly endangering safety, according to the WI circuit court site. You can read the ADJ article HERE: http://antigodailyjournal.com/full.php?id=9440
I have know the Spanbauer family for years. They are wonderful people, Ann and her family are concerned about Kayla. The comments on this website are ridiculous and I feel that people calling other people names and bashing their reputations is crazy. I have helped with benefits and not all business can and do donate. Never have I listed the businesses that havent. People like you who bash these businesses are going to ruin it for everyone, and they wont want to donate to anyone.
Lets get on with finding Kayla.
Please, if everyone could spread the word and maybe try to reach some of the teenagers who are spreading rumors about Kayla. There has been rumors that she was found in wausau with a 24 year old guy. Each time these rumors come up and someone calls Hope. It sometimes takes hours to find out they are not true. Imagine you are the mother of the girl who everyone is talking about…….. She is having the worst time right now. This whole thing has been absolutely horrible!! Please if everyone could pitch in to stop some of these nasty rumors floating around it would really be appreciated. Of course we want someone to go to the police and tell if they know something, like where she is, who is she with…. But there has been rumors that she was found on a reservation dead. or she was found in wausau, these rumors literally take hours to find out they are not true. It just cuts deeper everytime
I can’t even imagine why anyone feels the need to attack a missing child like this. Pure evil. As for the business that did not donate, yes I agree that sometimes you just can’t. However, it was said that some refused to even hang up a flyer. THOSE are the ones I would like to know about. THOSE are the ones I will not patronize again. Also, sounds like this Kevin Kielcheski should have been arrested two months ago. Why the wait? WHY?
I hope Kayla is found (alive and well) as much as the next person…However, according to the ADJ, why was a 15 year old child smoking THC with a 24 year old man? Let’s just hope that wasn’t the case
My guess is the police believe he knows more than he is saying and they are pressuring him to come clean. Hopefully this will provide the break needed to find Kayla.
Here is a poem that I found on the web. This is how I feel about my baby girl…
My Daughter
(copyright Herman Ross Fillingane)
As time will come and go
Sometimes like a distant wind
My life sees many changes
And I’m thankful for true friends.
But as I long for wisdom
And search for that distant light
I think of yesterdays
When I watched you sleep at night.
And nothing that I touch
In a sometimes lonely world
Will ever mean as much
As the love for my little girl.
I would just like everyone to please stop all of the blaming and he said she said…. Ann Kegler is the one that had the new banner made and put up and I thank her and the family for doing so! As far as people not putting up her poster I am not aware of that, but I do know that a couple of places did not want to donate because they did not want to be associated with the situation, with all of the rumors that keep going around. There were a lot of high emotions when all of this happened. From being severely angry at everyone to being severely depressed. People can not imagine the amount of emotions that can go through ones body when something horrifying happens to them. This hole situation has giving me a different outlook on humanity! I love my daughter with everything that I have to give and will not give up on her no matter what the case is!! I still am very stern about her not being a run away!! And the only thing that I want is my daughter back, I need some light to come to the end of this never ending tunnel!
I knew Kevin a little bit a while back….he had an affair with a married woman and he has done drugs in the past and is not all that reliable…..why if anything, would he wait until now to say something? Was he afraid that he would get into trouble….well guess what…it is worse for you now! Shame on you for not saying something before. He better tell everyone the truth and don’t hide anything….Kayla needs your help.
I think you’re a little confused, the police have known his story all along. He was the first person they interviewed and has told them everything from the beginning. That’s why they reduced his bail because if he wanted to elude police or run away, he would have already done it by now. I also pray that Kayla is found safe and sound very soon and that he had nothing to do with her disappearance.
Kayla’s sign on Superior St was wrapped around the pole, probably from the wind. Just want to let whoever know so they can get it back up.
I guess I assumed that he was a new suspect…sorry for any confusion. I don’t really hear everything. I am glad that he did come forward and talk to the police and is cooperating with them. Sorry about that Sherry. I to pray that she is safe somewhere. I often wonder if I did see her somewhere and didn’t even know it…I am sure there are some out there thinking the same.
I have to say this because it’s all I think about every night. Did he REALLY take her to Wausau? Did anyone actually see him in Wausau? Did anyone actually see Kayla in Wausau? Can he prove he was there? A reciept for gas? Anything? I just cannot imagine a pretty teenage girl like Kayla would go to Wausau to meet friends, without her purse. I was a teenage girl once. Would you have done this? Has Mr. Kielcheski taken a polygraph? Something about Mr. Kielcheski’s story is way, way off!
No problem antigomom, I think we all wonder if we are looking enough or in the right places everyday. I think just having our eyes open is a start, she has to be out there somewhere and at this point, God is the only one who knows for sure.
Any news on Kayla? I thought of her and her mom all day yesterday just hoping that because it was Thanksgiving someone might call. I can’t imagine being thankful for anything when your little girl is missing. So sad.
I have known kevin for years and kayla also.. from being around them both at the same time i can say kevin is innocent… he would never hurt a fly. all kevin did was give the girl a ride to wausau like kayla would do sometimes.. and kevin a nice guy says yes and she disapears… he took a lie detector test and past with flying colors… sorry people he is innocent.
There has still been now news on Kayla, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, a very hard time for our family. Kayla has been put on America’s Most Wanted web site. If anyone would like to check it out it is amw.com. She is one of their top stories.
I will say that I hope that they do find Kayla safe and sound and the more time goes on I strongly believe she is a runaway. Things just aren’t adding up. Also, I will say I am a little disappointed in some of the family as I have witnessed them taking the money from the cans that are set up around town and then spending it in the bar. One of these cans being at a bar, that was emptied in front of my eyes and then placed on the bar. I understand money is needed to keep things going and posters to be made, but that is where the money needs to be going to. People put money in there wanting to help find Kayla, not to support drinking habits.
@ People. She is not a runaway. She would have contacted someone by now. I don’t think she would let if go this far, Kevin being charged, fund raisers, knowing her mom is sto sad. Something happened to her that night
And I think your comments were pretty nasty to her family. You should have wrote them in private. Pretty evil to talk bad about them here. As far Kevin goes, I don’t know what to think. His story is kinda fishy but then he did pass the lie detector test. It would be awesome if she is found sliver and well. I have a daughter her age and I cant imagine what you must be going through. Never give up hope and God bless you and your family.
ANY NEWS ON KAYLA? Anything at all?
No ddddd there has been nothing new in Kayla’s case. Were supposed to have Kevin’s trial on 2-16-11, but it has been canceled. At least that was the last thing I was told about a week ago.
I am so sorry Hope. I still look for Kayla every single day, everywhere I go. I still have you in my thoughts and prayers. How are you doing? I know it sounds silly to some, but have you tried to contact a psychic of some kind? I think there a lot of phonies out there, but I do believe some are for real.
ddddd, there are a lot of phony psychics out there because they are ALL phonies! Somebody out there has the real information on Kayla. We need to find that person, not waste time and hope on imaginary leads from charlatans.
Jerry- You are of course right, but I still feel there has to be something to psychic ability. I’ve read that even some police departments rely on certain psychics that eventually give them valid leads that solve cases. There’s a TV show called Medium that is based on a psychic that has helped a police department in Arizone for many years. I’m sure the show is very exaggerated for the TV audience, but they all swear that this woman is the real deal. I’m sure psychics are 99.9% phonies, but if it were my daughter missing, I would do anything and everything possible to find her, including at least trying to contact someone the police had worked with before. I’m sure you are correct that a real person knows something, but no one is talking and this girl is still gone.
Since 1964 James Randi has been offering a prize of one million dollars to “anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event.”
See http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge.html
There have been many applicants, perhaps a strong majority of whom actually believed they had some magical powers, but all have failed. There is no such thing as “psychic powers” regardless of anecdotal evidence of personal “witnesses”, regardless of TV shows, regardless of reports of psychic assistance on police cases. None of the reports survive scientific investigation. I wish I, or someone else, had the psychic power to zero in on the information needed to solve this case, but that’s strictly fantasy, driven by grief and despair, and a powerful desire to make things better.
I keep seeing Kayla’s picture on Nancy Grace. So heartbreaking. Maybe this exposure will be what finally helps to find her.
