An Ohio woman has been missing for nearly a year, and her family believes she was last in Kentucky.
Her name is Amie Owens. She is 46 years old and has three children and five grandchildren.
“Her birthday is in four days, so she’s about to be 47,” said Owens’ son, Kylin Hurtt.
Hurtt said the family last had contact with Owens on March 30, 2025. Although Owens is from the Cincinnati area, her family said she told them she was somewhere in Kentucky, but they do not know where.
“She stated that she was living in Kentucky at the time,” Hurtt said. “The Kentucky location, when we literally say we have information of ‘Kentucky,’ that’s what we mean. Like we don’t have a town. We don’t. It’s a very vague, just ‘Kentucky.’”
That lack of detail, combined with Owens’ silence, is what has deeply worried the family.
“My sister had reached out and said, ‘Hey, we’re getting worried. If you don’t respond to us, we’re going to do a welfare check,’” Hurtt said. “It was a serious lack of response, and she’s never not responded to her kids. She’s always told us happy birthday. She’s always called the grandkids. She’s always called us and told us Merry Christmas, the holidays, no matter what’s been going on in her life.”
The family filed a missing person report in Ohio, but because Owens said she was in Kentucky, they are now asking for help from the Commonwealth.
“We’ve shared fliers throughout different counties,” Hurtt said. “We went to the Kentucky missing persons thing on social media and shared that on there as well.”
“Not living there, not being 100% familiar with the place, it’s kind of like we’re shooting blanks here, but we’re just aiming wherever we can.”
For now, Hurtt said the family is simply looking for answers.
“It would mean the world to us if we could get a tip of which way to look,” he said. “I don’t necessarily like the word closure because that can mean a multitude of things. I would really strongly say, we want answers.”
Hurtt described Owens as an approachable person. Anyone with information that could help locate her is asked to contact the Brown County, Ohio, Sheriff’s Office at (937) 378-4435.
