Katelyn Wolfe

LINTON, Ind. - The search for a missing 19-year-old girl in southern Indiana stretched into its fourth day on Monday, with friends and family turning to social media to help spread the word about her disappearance.

Wolfe's last message was posted on Facebook. In the post, she indicated she felt she was being followed and that she was "out on a walk with creeps that keep driving by."

Wolfe is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 110 pounds, police said. She has black hair, wears glasses and a nose ring.

A Facebook page -- " Finding Katelyn Wolfe " -- was created on Sunday, picking up nearly 1,000 "likes" by Monday morning.

The page was being used to coordinate searches for Wolfe and to spread her missing poster.

Linton Police Chief Troy Jerrell said that his staff has been working with Indiana State Police "around the clock" in the search for Wolfe.

"It is crucial anyone with pertinent information comes forward with whatever information they may know," Jerrell said in a statement. "We are following up on (every) lead that comes in and this takes time."

"It's not like her to be gone for this long without communicating," Jerrell told the Greene County Daily World . "We do believe she's in danger."

Katelyn Wolfe's aunt spent Thursday with a group of youth who set up a lemonade stand to raise money to offset funeral expenses.
Beth Wolfe said she was pleased to see the local youth raising funds for a the tragedy that struck their family this week.

"The whole family is just touched by what is going on here. I thought I should do something to help myself in this situation, so I decided to spend the day out here with these kids who have such big hearts and compassion," Wolfe said Thursday afternoon.

Tyler Vivian, 9, set up at the Tracy Keen State Farm Office on State Road 54 in Linton on Wednesday afternoon with a small lemonade stand and a sign that said "Lemonade for Katelyn."

Even though he didn't know the 19-year-old who was taken from her family too soon, he wanted to raise money to help with her funeral expenses. Katelyn's father is laid off from work and the family had no money for a funeral.

By the end of Wednesday, he had raised more than $300 to donate to the fund set up in Katelyn's name at Regions Bank.

Thursday morning, Vivian's friends Avery Keen, 7, Aidan Keen, 10, and Kaylin Ewers, 9, joined him to prepare for a busy day at the lemonade stand.

As of late Thursday afternoon, they had raised more than $2,000 to help raise funds for Katelyn's funeral.

"I didn't expect it to blow up like this, but it feels good doing something for other people," Vivian told the Greene County Daily World.

Wolfe said despite the tragedy that has shaken our community and her family, there is still something positive to look to.
"This is one of the bright spots," Wolfe said.

Anyone wishing to donate to help offset funeral costs by visiting any Regions Bank and donating to the Katelyn Wolfe funeral fund.
There are other fundraisers being planned to help offset funeral costs, including a fish fry Friday at the Old 41 Diner in Sullivan from 4 to 8 p.m. The organizers will donate 50 percent of the proceeds from the fish fry to the Katelyn Wolfe funeral fund.

Katelyn Wolfe was a graduate of Stockton High School, Class of 2012.  She listed Ivy Tech Community College on her Facebook page along with a quote on her wall:  "I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions."  She also had a favorite quote by William S. Burroughs, "I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do.  The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it."  She is survived by a father, Eric Wolfe, and a stepmother, Laura Wolfe.  Her mother passed almost three years ago as one poignant poster made reference to on her Facebook page since her death, "Tell your mom I said hi beautiful. Love & miss you."  We know Katelyn loved her mom very much as she posted on Mother's Day, May 12, 2012, "to everyone who has their mom.  Please appreciate them today.  Cause you never know what might happen.  I say this from experience.  Give that woman who brought you into this world respect and love today.  I know i would if i still had mine."  

Katelyn liked Metal music, but she also liked older rock 'n roll like The Doors, Queen, and the Beatles.  She liked to watch Family Guy, Seinfeld, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia among others.  For reading material, she listed The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson and Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski which I found interesting choices for one so young.  I thought her "likes" might have caught the essence of her spirit - "Doing whatever."
