"It would be unusual for her to leave that early in the day," said Michael Doyle, Kylie's father.
"She would typically leave after class, which would be around 3 p.m., so it was unusual to leave, and speculation would say maybe she went out to lunch or whatever, but I can't speculate."
According to the parents, they had their last conversation with Kylie three weeks before her disappearance. Michael also told NBC 5 that he received a message from her on the day she went missing, saying she was busy and would contact them over the weekend.
An active investigation of the case is still underway. Anyone with information about Doyle's death is asked to call the Frisco Police Department at 971-292-6010. Tips can also be submitted anonymously by texting FRISCOPD and the tip to 847411 (tip411) or downloading the Frisco PD app.
