On May 29, 2018 at approximately 4:30 P.M., the Ashland County Communications Center received a report from a female caller that her 54 year old sister, Jody Lynn Newberry, had traveled from her home in Bergland, MI to Mellen, WI on the evening of Thursday, May 24 to attend the “Mellen Jam” music festival. Jody’s sister was concerned because the festival had ended and Jody had not returned home, nor had she contacted the family.
Preliminary information indicated that Jody traveled to the festival with a male companion, and the two became separated, with the last alleged contact with Jody being around noon on Saturday, May 26th.
Jody is described as a white female, 5’03” tall, 115 lbs, with long brown hair, several missing teeth, a skin tag on her nose, and usually wearing wire rimmed glasses.
“Mellen Jam” is a yearly event held on Memorial Day weekend on forested private property on Gilgen Road, just north of Mellen. The property is located next to a large area of densely forested and extremely rugged terrain.
An initial search of the property and adjacent area was performed by deputies of the Ashland County Sheriff’s Office followed by an expanded search by the Sawyer County Search and Rescue K-9 unit throughout the evening and night, with nothing found.
At this time, there is no indication of Jody’s whereabouts. The investigation is ongoing and additional expanded searches are planned in conjunction all other available options to locate her. Anyone having contact with Jody since Thursday, especially at the “Mellen Jam” party and afterwards is urged to contact the Ashland County Sheriff’s Office immediately at (715) 682-7023 (Option 1).
