Kenley was last seen around 4 p.m. Friday in Midvale, about 6 miles northwest of Sandy, Sandy police said. She was reported missing the following day after family and friends did not hear from her. 

Police later found Kenley’s car in a Costco parking lot in Sandy.

Detectives searched for Kenley throughout the weekend. About 100 volunteers helped in the search on Sunday, according to the station.

Police said their effort led detectives to the Jordan River late Sunday, where the non-profit search and rescue organization Rocky Mountain Rescue Dogs, Inc., helped them search the thick brush near the river.

While police have not released details on what led to Reilly’s arrest in connection to Kenley’s death, he faces charges of felony aggravated murder, desecration of a corpse and obstruction of justice, according to the station.

No further details were immediately released as police continue to investigate Kenley’s death.
