ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The St Petersburg Police have identified remains found inside a St. Petersburg home following a fire.

Pinellas-Pasco County Medical Examiner's Office identified the remains found inside the home of Kelli Fisher.

Fisher went missing on July 16. She left her home, which is next door to the home where the house fire broke out, in her aunt's car and never returned. The fire happened at a residence located at 1720 Prescott Street South on Monday.

On July 30, two days after the fire, family members and St Pete Police held a press conference for help locating Fisher.

According to SPPD, the family told authorities that she would sometimes visit the house.

Police continue to investigate and call the investigation ongoing and active.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
