A young, goateed man videotaped leaving a Target store moments before the apparent abduction of an 18-year-old woman from the adjoining parking lot is being sought for questioning, investigators said.

Experts had been analyzing signals from the Kelsey Smith’s cell phone on Saturday night after she was abducted. A police spokesman estimated the signals - “pings” - sounded about 15 miles from the store.

He said the signals show that her phone passed through certain sites along a route that led to an area around a park south of Kansas City, Mo. The last signal was recorded at about 8 p.m. Saturday. The signals are believed to be Kelsey’s family trying to reach her.

The Search for Kelsey Smith in Photographs
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Police have confirmed Kelsey Smith's body has been found near a shallow creek bed near Longview Lake in south Kansas City in a heavily wooded area.

Members of the Hillcrest Covenant Church said they still plan to hold a prayer vigil at the church located at 8801 Nall Ave., in Overland Park, Kansas tonight at 7 p.m.

FOX Newschannel is reporting that police have identified a person of interest who lives within two miles of the Longview Lake area.

Police said they are talking to a number of people. But, they are not ready to identify any of them as a person of interest.

Police said they are still looking for their person of interest and they are still looking for the dark 70's Chevy truck.

Police were led to search a heavily wooded area based on a detailed analysis of cell phone data. They determined where Kelsey's cell phone was generally located on the evening of June 2, the night of her abduction.

More than 200 federal agents, police officers and police academy students searched an area in south Kansas City, south and east of U.S. 71 and Missouri 150.

Police said it took this long to locate the pings because they were following multiple leads and wanted to fully analyze the data.

The search of the area began Tuesday afternoon, and expanded Wednesday.

The cell phone analysis showed that the phone passed through certain telephone cells located on I-35 to I-435, then east to south 71 highway, and from there to an area in the vicinity of Longview Lake Park.

Cell phone signals, known as "pings," happen when a phone is in use, either receiving a call or message, or sending a call or message. Family and friends were attempting to contact Kelsey Saturday night.

Police have received and processed more than 500 leads in this case. Wednesday, in addition to more than 200 officers and police academy students conducting the search near Longview Lake, more than 50 officers and detectives were working leads. These officers are from Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, Prairie Village, Leawood, Shawnee, Merriam, Mission and the FBI. Also donating their time and equipment was Texas Equu Search.

The family told FOX 4 News there will be a prayer service open to the public at 7 p.m., at Hillcrest Covenant Church, located at 8801 Nall Ave., in Overland Park, Kansas.

Meanwhile, police were still asking for the public's help in identifying a truck from the Target where Kelsey Smith was abducted. The dark, older model mid-1970s Chevy truck with no license plate information was seen entering the same parking aisle as Smith's car on Saturday.

Enhanced surveillance video shows the same truck later seen leaving the Target parking lot at 9:29 p.m., 10 minutes after Smith's car was left in the Macy's parking lot across the street.

Overland Park police said that at 6:54 p.m., the truck pulled into the same parking lot aisle as Smith's car. At 6:55, Smith entered the store and at 6:56, a male was seen entering the store that matches the description as a person of interest in this case.

The person of interest's description was described as "close" to the description of the man leaving the truck. He's a white man, about 6 feet tall, 175 pounds, and in his 20's. He was wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts, and black converse tennis shoes. He has short dark hair and a goatee.

Police said that the person of interest remains just that, and has not been declared a suspect.

Unlike most Target customers, the man police want to talk to walked out of the store without buying a thing.

"We noticed that, he walked out with nothing, yeah, we noticed that, yeah, we noticed that he came out empty handed and that is kind of unusual," said Missy Smith, Kelsey's mother.

There was a reward of up to $35,000 for information leading to the whereabouts of Kelsey Smith. There were also "Find Kelsey" T-shirts available and half the proceeds go to the Kelsey Fund

Kelsey Smith disappeared Saturday night as she headed home from the Target store near Oak Park Mall. She went to Target to buy something for a graduation party but never made it back to her parents' house where she was supposed to meet her boyfriend at 7:20 Saturday night.

Kelsey Smith graduated from Shawnee Mission West just a few days ago. She plans to attend Kansas State University and study vet medicine.

If you have any information concerning the Kelsey Smith case, please contact the Overland Park Police Department at a new number set up to answer calls in regards to this case. That number is: (913) 327-5638. Or call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.
