(OVERLAND PARK, KS) - Police continue to follow up on several leads regarding the disappearance of Kelsey Smith.

Smith, 18, has been missing since Saturday, June 2nd. She was last seen leaving the Target store just south of Oak Park Mall at 7:00 PM.

Smith, a recent Shawnee Mission West High School graduate, was expected to drive directly home from the Target store but never made it.

Police have released a video of a young man who they are calling a person of interest.

The man, who is approximately 6 feet tall and about 25 years old, was seen leaving the store shortly before Smith.

Her car - a 1987 two-door Buick Regal - was found June 2nd in the parking lot of Macy’s at Oak Park Mall.

Police are continuing to review video tapes from the area where Smith was last seen.

One view by the surveillance camera seems to suggest a second person in the vicinity of her car.

That tape is being enhanced by the police department.

Smith was last seen wearing a pink tank top, black shorts and possibly sandals. She is 5 feet six inches tall, weighs 120 pounds and has long brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who may have seen Smith or her vehicle between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM June 2nd is encouraged to contact the Overland Park Police Department at (913) 895-6300 or call the TIPS hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.
