Missing 43-year-old Juneau County woman feared dead

Shaun Goyette said Stewart’s disappearance hasn’t been ruled a criminal matter but did say he doesn’t believe Stewart would just walk away and not contact anyone.

“We are still considering it a missing persons,” he told 27 News. “The issue that we have is we have no concrete evidence to raise it to a criminal investigation.”

The Department of Justice – Division of Criminal Investigations was brought in to help.

“They’ve done a bigger investigation then we have, and maybe they have more information or different avenues of where to go,” Goyette explained. “So, it’s just an extra resource that we use.”

Goyette said they have some discrepancies in statements from interviews but nothing that raises the case to a criminal investigation.

“We were doing other search warrants, phone records, residential search warrants, and just nothing has turned up,” he added.

Over a year after going missing, Leya Stewart’s mother is seeking any kind of closure, even if it means her daughter is dead.

According to Juneau County Detective Shawn Goyette, this is still listed as a missing person’s case because they have not found any evidence to suggest that Stewart is dead.

”A lot of the information we’re getting is people that have potential theories as to what they believe happened to Leya. Unfortunately, we follow up on it, we investigate it, but we’re still looking for that one piece that somebody that knows where Leya ended up or where she is now,” said Goyette.
