KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A Kalamazoo family sends out a call for help to find a woman who disappeared more than a year ago.

Renee Kyles vanished last September. Police found her car about two weeks later, abandoned on Portage Road.

A witness says she left it there when she got into a black SUV. That's where the trail goes cold.

Police say that leads in the case have slowed. Still, Renee's family isn't giving up hope.

"We believe in god, and we always ask him to strengthen our family, whatever the situation is. Not knowing is the hardest thing," said Renee's sister, Angela Ridley.

Renee's family is offering a $1,000 reward for any information on her whereabouts.
