(Shenandoah, Iowa) – Funeral services for a southwest Iowa woman who went missing in southern Oregon in early April, and whose remains were found nearly a month later, will be held later this month. According to the Nishna Valley Funeral Home in Shenandoah, services for 29-year-old Kaylee Danae Birt, of Shenandoah, will be held May 27th.
Birt was declared missing on April 4th. She was last seen with her vehicle, leaving The Fields Station in Oregon. Her car was discovered two-days later, in a remote part of Southern Harney County, OR. Kaylee was not with the vehicle. An extensive search for her by land and air, using horses, off-road vehicles and many volunteers trained in traversing the rugged terrain, was eventually suspended. Kaylee’s body was found by volunteer searchers, on May 3rd.
