Seefeldt was last seen at her home near 18th Street and Highway 24 in Independence, Missouri on October 14, 2002. She was grounded and she and her mother argued after her mother refused to let her attend a party at an apartment complex. Seefeldt received a phone call at 1:00 a.m. and told the caller she wasn't allowed to have calls that late and to stop calling. Since the family didn't have caller ID, it isn't known who was calling. When her mother woke up later that morning, her daughter was gone, along with a lot of her clothing.

Seefeldt had run away from home before for short periods, so her mother was not initially concerned and didn't report her missing until two days later. She disappeared the day before a routine doctor's appointment and her mother believes, based on her behavior before she went missing, that she was pregnant. Her mother now lives in Buckner, Missouri.

Police believe Seefeldt left of her own accord, but no one has heard from her since 2002 and her mother thinks foul play may have been involved in her disappearance. She may still be in the local area. Seefeldt was a seventh-grader at Osage Trail Middle School at the time of her disappearance. She enjoys writing and chalk drawing and she may be affiliated with the gothic sub-culture. Seefeldt may still be in the local area. Her case remains unsolved.
