'A piece of my heart is missing': Son of murdered woman linked to Suffolk Strangler wants answers
Kurtis Pratt seeks answers regarding the disappearance and presumed murder of his mother, Kellie, who was last seen in Norwich in 2000, with possible links to the Suffolk Strangler.
Kurtis Pratt, the son of Kellie Pratt who went missing in Norwich in the year 2000, is searching for answers about his mother's unsolved case. Kellie, who was 28 at the time of her disappearance, struggled with drug addiction and became involved in sex work to support her habit. Her last known interaction was with a customer on June 11, 2000, after which she vanished without a trace, leaving her family devastated and her murder unresolved.
As Kurtis grew up with no memories of his mother, all he has are a few photographs, primarily ones published by the media. His search for information began later in life, revealing the profound impact of her absence on his identity and understanding of family. The investigation into Kellie's disappearance remains ongoing, compounded by the dark specter of her case potentially being connected to other murders attributed to the infamous Suffolk Strangler, Steve Wright.
Recent speculations about the Suffolk Strangler’s involvement in Kellie’s case have offered a new perspective on the search for truth, reigniting the hope that more answers may surface. For Kurtis, the lingering questions about what happened to his mother echo the pain of loss and drive his determination to uncover the truth, as he grapples with the fact that he may never fully know the person who gave him life.
