Regarding the missing dog Sadie that was found. Go to KRTV Channel 3's Facebook Page. In the comments is a photo of the dog that was found and the comment is interesting. The dog also looks wet. I know some dogs just naturally love to go into the water for a swim, but it could also mean that Tamara ended up in the water as well. Prayers for her family.

Keen observation. I live in Great Falls and it would be very unusual to see a woman or dog in the missouri in town. I would wonder if there are witnesses.

Here's an update. The dog was originally spotted on the opposite side of the river from where it was found. I can't imagine a dog swimming across that river unless it's "human" was in the water and needing help. GFPD provides update on the search for Tamara Goff

Update from July 20 with family statement, but no new information.
Search continues for Tamara Goff in Great Falls

It's been a month now and no news. The fact that she was listed as in "extreme danger" as soon as she went missing, yet no word of foul play, leads me to believe there was a danger of self-harm, but if so, why would she have taken the family dog?

 

[Leslie Slater]

I wonder if the dog was left in that spot as a diversion. Just feel like she wouldn't take her dog if she was going to harm herself!
Plus I am curious to know if anyone lived with her, was she married, have a bf, an ex, was she actually SEEN getting into vehicle to leave? It reeks of foul play. Was her house and yard searched?

• Family searching for Billings woman they say is missing
• Search continues for Tamara Goff of Great Falls
• “Face The State”: Missing and murdered indigenous women
• Sheriff’s Office asks for help locating missing Belgrade woman

A vehicle was found in the river near where Tammy went missing but LE stated they do not believe it is hers. She was reported to be in a pickup truck (Chevy Colorado) and the submerged vehicle was a minivan. Vehicle found in Missouri is probably not missing woman Tammy Goff's

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

they really can't confirm whether it is her vehicle? the "probably not" is just odd. Seems too coincidental IMO.

ETA: that article is from 3 weeks ago - updated the following day to say it was NOT her vehicle.

The Search for Tammy Goff Continues

We continue our “You Asked” series tonight. Several people over the last couple of weeks have been asking us about a particular case Great Falls Police Department has been working on.

Last July a Great Falls woman was reported missing after leaving her home heading to the south end of town.

Now almost a year later the search for Tammy Goff continues.

This was so heartbreaking. She was last seen on one side of the river and the dog ended up terrified and wet on the other side. I think the vehicle went into the water or she did and her dog tried to rescue her. The vehicle that WAS found in the river was a van and not her SUV.
