Kelly Currin Morris

On the morning of Sept. 4, 2008, firefighters with the Stem and Providence fire departments in North Carolina responded to a house fire at 3220 Tump Wilkins Road. The house and much of its contents were destroyed; however, firefighters were able to determine that the residents, 34-year-old William "Scott" Morris and his wife, 28-year-old Kelly Currin Morris, were not home when the fire broke out.
Scott was allegedly at his towing business in Creedmoor, and the couple's two young children, ages 8 and 5, were in school at the time of the incident. It was initially believed that Kelly was at work; however, investigators soon learned that she never showed up that morning.
Roughly two hours later, Kelly's car, a burgundy 2005 Honda Accord, was found abandoned in an undeveloped subdivision, less than a mile from her home.
When questioned by police, Scott Morris told them that he had not seen his wife since the previous night, when she went out to look for a family pet. Scott told police that he went to bed shortly thereafter, and when he awoke the following morning Kelly's vehicle was gone. He told police that he went about his day, assuming that she had left for work.

When police questioned Scott's father, they learned that he had been at the Morris home that night – after the time Scott told police he went to bed – watching his grandchildren so that Scott could go look for his wife. Scott allegedly told his father that he suspected she was out cheating on him. It remains unclear where Scott went that night or what time he returned home.
On Sept. 12, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted forensic tests at the scene of the fire, which, according to police, revealed it was the work of an arsonist. Following that revelation, investigators named William Morris a person of interest in the fire and in his wife's disappearance.
Since that time, search teams, led by Kelly's father, Pat Currin, have spent every day searching wooded areas, mine shafts, wells, lakes, ponds and other areas of interest, looking for any sign of Kelly or evidence related to the case. Pat has made a vow not to give up until his daughter is found.
Meanwhile, investigators are continuing their own investigation, looking for any clue that might suggest what happened to Kelly.
The family of Kelly Currin Morris is offering a $30,000 reward for information on her whereabouts. Anyone with information is urged to call the Granville County Sheriff's Office at 919-693-3213.
William "Scott" Morris maintains his innocence in the fire and the disappearance of his wife.
