- Her body was discovered at the bottom of a cliff in Big Sur two weeks later.

The body of Kayeleigh Gammill was discovered two weeks after her disappearance at the base of a cliff in Big Sur, California. Her mother, Jennifer Gammill, recounted the last conversation she had with her daughter, who assured her she would be home shortly. The family has a rule that requires a call home if anyone is out past 11 p.m., highlighting the concern for safety within the household. Detective Wilson, who is investigating the case, confirmed that a passerby observed Kayeleigh's body along the coast. While Jennifer noted that her daughter frequently visited Big Sur with friends, it remains unclear if the location where she was found was a common gathering spot for them. Wilson stated that there is currently no evidence linking Kayeleigh's case to any other ongoing investigations. In the wake of her daughter's tragic death, Jennifer has struggled with overwhelming grief but emphasizes the importance of remaining strong for her other children. She expressed a desire to remember Kayeleigh for her joyful spirit and is determined to seek answers regarding her untimely passing. Kayeleigh's case has gained further attention through its feature in Season 3 of the “Dateline: Missing In America” podcast, specifically in the episode titled “Mystery on Highway 1.” Authorities are urging anyone with information about her disappearance to contact the Salinas Police Department or their anonymous tip line.
