"We're constantly in contact with [the police]," Kylee Monteiro's sister Faith Monteiro told WJAR. "There haven't been much updates. Everything is kept quiet. They don't want anyone to interfere with the investigation, which I understand, but it looks like they're raiding the house now and I don't know what's going on. I'm just scared and hope they have a lead on something. We just want to find her and bring her home."
Rehoboth police did not comment on the investigation, but previously told MassLive on Tuesday that Kylee Monteiro's disappearance was under investigation. MassLive reached out to Rehoboth Police Chief Louis DiBacco for more information.
