http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/local&id=8626014FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Police said Wednesday morning they were using cell phone information to target their search for a missing 23-year-old soldier.
Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux has not been seen since April 14 when she left Froggy Bottoms bar in the 6300 block of Ramsey Street around 1:20 a.m. Saturday.
At a news conference Wednesday morning, Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine said officers had set up a command post and were focusing on the area from Ramsey St. up the Interstate 295 corridor because that was the last place records show Bordeaux's mobile phone pinged a cell phone tower.
Bergamine said Bordeaux's disappearance is suspicious, as her supervisors at Fort Bragg described her as a reliable person.
"She is not the type of person who would come up AWOL or missing," said Bergamine.
Bordeaux is married. Bergamine said her husband was not with her at the bar Saturday night.
ABC11 has learned police have questioned a 26-year-old registered sex offender who sources say picked Bordeaux up Friday night from her apartment, took her to the bar, and allegedly took her back to her home. ABC11 is not naming the man because he has not been charged with any crime.
Investigators were also looking at a campsite in a wooded area behind Froggy Bottoms that could be linked to the case.
Family members described Bordeaux as 5' 1" tall and weighing 102 pounds. She has blond hair and brown eyes. She was reportedly last seen wearing a pink tube top with spaghetti straps and black shorts.
Tuesday evening, Bordeaux's sister held an emotional news conference in front of the Fayetteville Police Department.
"Being a soldier to Kelly isn't something she'd jeopardize for anything," said Bordeaux's sister, Olivia Cox. "Missing work isn't something that's in character for Kelli. This is an out of character thing to happen to my sister."
Cox said she had no theory about what happened to her sister.
"I just want my sister home," said Cox. "Please give her back," said Cox. "Please just return my sister."

"There is some information we've gathered that makes us concerned for her safety," said Fayetteville Police spokesperson Gavin MacRoberts to ABC News. He refused to give any more details due to the ongoing investigation.
Sometime during the night, Bordeaux sent two text messages, one of which said "got home safely." An army official didn't know who the text was sent to or what the other text said, according to CNN.
Her mother, Johnna Henson, doesn't believe the story police officials are telling her. She said her daughter was "spooked" while someone was driving her home. Bordeaux apparently told the driver to let her out before she reached home, her mother said, according to CNN.
"[Police] told me they think that someone picked her up and took her to the bar and she had a good time at the bar and did karaoke and was acting silly and having fun. And then supposedly someone was going to give her a ride home from the bar. That's where the story doesn't quite add up," said Hanson to NBC.
Henson doesn't believe her daughter reached home.
"I don't think she got home from the bar and supposedly the person who dropped her off...uhmm...something supposedly spooked her in the car he told them one time. That she didn't want to get out of the car, yet she got out of the car and that's the part I don't understand. If something spooked her why would she get out of the car and, you know, go forward," said Hanson.

"Kelli is a good soldier," Cox told CNN. "Kelli is not a soldier who would go AWOL."
"She wanted her future to be securely in place and she knew joining the military would do that. Being a soldier, for Kellie, is something she wouldn't jeopardize for anything. Missing working isn't something that's in character for Kellie," said Cox to NBC.
hENson told ABC News she was having difficulty dealing with Bordeaux's disappearance. Henson and Cox are aiding in the search.
"I can't function not knowing where she is. How can someone hurt her?" Henson said. "I lost my mother and my husband within a three months span. I can't deal with losing my child. I can't deal with anymore loss."
Bordeaux is described as 5 feet tall, weighing in at 99 pounds, with blond hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing pink halter top and black shorts.

"She joined the military to make her family proud," said Cox. "She just wanted to have that future securely in place. She knew the military would do that."
