A 16-year-old Versailles girl is still missing after the vehicle she’s believed to be in was spotted Tuesday night in Columbia. Versailles City Marshal Chad Hartman says authorities are still looking for Kiaira Lazae Burris. 20-year-old Antonio Jerel Primer, Junior is no longer considered a possible suspect.
“Kiaira was seen at approximately 7 p.m. at a residence in Columbia, Missouri. The residents at the Columbia address had no information as to where she was going or who she was with.”
Last night Burris’s mother received a phone call from an unknown number. Burris was crying and described as “distraught.” An unknown male voice was heard saying, “I hid the body,” several times before the call disconnected.
Hartman says Kiaira’s mother also received a text early this morning.
“She received a text from an internet app advising her that it was Kiaira and she was fine and at home,” said Hartman. “Officers were dispatched to Kiaira’s home address, where officers on the scene spoke with family members and they had not seen Kiaira.”
