Family members of a 43-year-old Haskell woman are distraught after her sudden disappearance.

Tamera Lynn Banks, who goes by Tammy or Elle, has been missing since Monday, and family members say she was in the process of leaving because she felt unsafe.

She was in the process of moving to Texas, and had come back to Haskell, in part, to pick up her horses Jerihco and Shoe.

"She wouldn’t leave her horses. She would not go anywhere without telling somebody something," said Elle's father. Thomas Ellison is a bundle of nerves, as is Elle's cousin KaCee Rutz.

"She’s never done anything like this, she’s never just up and vanished. She’s never left Shoe and Jericho. She’s never cut family ties, you know, she cares about her family. She wouldn't have just left us like this," said Rutz.

Family members say she was in the midst of a difficult separation, and that her husband has been violent towards her in the past.

"I had a run in with her husband three times, ok. He’s a controlling individual, ok, he’s the type of person that’s put his hands on my daughter before and I was told to stay out of it and not do anything and I didn’t and now she’s gone," said Ellison.

And gone without telling anyone where she was going and leaving everything behind.

"It's like she just vanished. Her truck was at the house, her bags and all of the stuff that she wanted to take with her was in her truck still," said Rutz.

As for authorities, the Muskogee County Sheriff's Office has turned the case over to the OSBI.

"They’re trying everything, they’re pulling phone records, they’re on the security cameras on her house, they’re trying to see if those were working," said Rutz.

As for Elle's horses, they're safely with her family, who tonight watched a sunset light fire to the sky with an intensity matched only by the longing for a loved one to come home.

"It’s scary, she wouldn’t have just left. I know my cousin," said Rutz.

"I want my daughter home. That’s all," said Ellison.

I took it to mean she was seen driving the vehicle on Hwy 64 to home, where it was found. Which would imply she reached there and someone was either waiting for her or arrived soon after. JMO

Do those feel as awful rising as the hinky meters feel when they're going off? ;) I'm not liking this feeling.

Yeah, feels very suss.

Initially it could have been a case of woman with mental health issues going through bad time, takes off - and still could, of course. But with these latest reports, and how she was allegedly afraid for her safety before going missing, it just steers things in another direction completely for me.

Also, according to the PO, Tamera's home is located on Hwy 64. MOO
 
This is so sad! Time after time... The most dangerous time for an abused woman is when she is leaving. Praying I am wrong and she has found a safe haven.

I too am wondering why they keep saying that she was last seen on the Hwy. Is her house on that highway? What do they mean by this statement? Is there video surveillance of her?? So upsetting!
