JUPITER, Fla. — A mother is desperate for information about her missing daughter, who was last seen in Jupiter.

No one has heard from Chelsea Bonnell since she flew to Miami from Michigan by herself more than a month ago.

She has been missing for more than a month.

“Something doesn’t feel right, especially as a mother,” said Michelle Clauw, Chelsea’s mother. “We’re worried. It’s been hell.”

Clauw said Chelsea flew from her home in Michigan to Miami on May 24. She traveled alone on a one-way ticket.

Two days later, on May 26, security video showed Chelsea walking into a Publix in Jupiter.

But there has been no communication with her friends or family.

“I started contacting her around June 1, and her phone was off,” Clauw said. “I was like, OK, maybe she needed a break.”

On June 2, Chelsea’s debit card was used at a Dunkin’ in West Palm Beach.

But since then, there has been nothing.

There has been no contact, no activity on her debit card and no sign of Chelsea for nearly a month.

“It’s unexplainable,” Clauw said. “It hurts, and it’s killing me because this is not her. She would call one of us.”

After spending a month making calls from Michigan, Clauw and several family members are now in Palm Beach County.

They have been hanging missing posters anywhere and everywhere and visiting businesses where Chelsea may have gone, but they have come up empty.

“It’s not like her, and we do fear that she may be with somebody that’s not allowing contact to us because this is just not her,” Clauw said. “I just want her back. I just want to know she’s OK.”

West Palm Beach police confirmed they have been in contact with police in Michigan. They are asking anyone with information about Chelsea’s whereabouts to come forward.
