The Waco Police Department reported that the woman provided conflicting information about her name, saying it might be Kelly or Caleigh. She cannot recall her last name, date of birth, social security number, or any family members' names, making it difficult for the authorities to verify her identity and locate her family or friends.

In a statement on social media, the Waco Police Department emphasized the situation's urgency and requested the community’s help. "Hello Waco! We need your help again locating the family or friends of the individual pictured below. She says her name is Kelly, but also says Caleigh and doesn’t know her last name.

The woman is currently receiving medical care at a hospital in Waco, but without any identification or knowledge of her background, authorities are struggling to connect her with her family. The Waco Police Department urges anyone who might recognize her or have information about her identity to come forward.
