This reminder just popped up on my phone, Happy Birthday Tara, wherever you are.

Tara deserves justice! I'm ashamed to be affiliated with this area. DO BETTER Marathon County!!!

 

[O2rsystems]

Agreed, this is just crazy!

 

[Knox]

I thought of Tara today, where in the world could she be?

I grew up not very far from Poynette. Still hoping for Tara

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) she's on NaMus now. No comparisons

 

[Keiri]

I wonder if LE checked the security cameras at Ringle Storage near where Tara's phone was found? Would the pictures be overwritten by now?

On March 30, 2023, she sent a text message to a realtor contact and talked about following God, however, the contact did not respond.

IMO, considering all the unexplained disappearances going on in the Wausau/Shawano area I think that investigators should consider that Tara Sullivan may have joined a secretive religious group that has been operating in Shawano for many years. (I use the term 'joined' loosely. There's no reason that the Shawano County Sheriff's Dept can't check to see if she's there and eliminate that scenario. After all, her vehicle was found just off Hwy 29 outside Shawano and Shawano is in the direction her vehicle was traveling before it was abandoned at the intersection of Hwy 29 and Old 29 Road.



The Samanta Roy Institute of Science and Technology, known also simply as SIST, is a secretive fundamentalist Christian-like group based in Shawano, Wisconsin. The group was founded by Rama Behera, a Hindu who converted to Christianity, who later changed his name to Dr. Rama Chandra Samanta Roy. In Minnesota they were formerly known as the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. They are still operating in the Shawano area (Wescott) and have been there since the mid-1970's.

"According to Martha Glory Kartaoui, formerly Martha Glory Stecker, born Feb 1979 in Minnesota, she escaped from a Shawano, WI cult at age 25 (2004). Her parents were also members of this cult in Shawano. Many other women have come forward stating that they, too, were physically, sexually and emotionally abused and held prisoner for years in this same group."

Just outside the city limits here lies the Midwest Amusement Park and USA International Raceway, its vacant grounds and winter-worn buildings evoking the same kind of eerie feeling that makes off-season attractions such good settings for horror films.

She could have been drunk or high (see garage door) drove her car, dropped her phone, stumbled off into the shawano woods. But frankly I don't even know because I've seen the cult stuff too (my mother in law lives in Clintonville, not far from Shawano). The reason I posit this is by searching Poynette area Sullivans in legal trouble.
I HATE to jump to conclusions because I'm usually wrong. But i'll dm you the thought.

That's possible but why didn't the dog(s) pick up her scent leading into the woods?

I also was going to post this:

Weston woman’s disappearance hits 1 year mark, investigators still searching for clues

One year ago, a cell phone was found at a dead-end road in Ringle.

www.wsaw.com

"Captain Jeff Stefonek who is the head of the Investigation Division of the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office said the SUV was parked in an unusual position, “It was like someone just pulled over to the side of the road, it was parked kind of at an angle.”

The car was described as drivable, with gas and minimal damage done to the rear. Her purse and keys were inside. But Sullivan was nowhere to be found and hasn’t been seen since."

Ok I see your point about the doggos. Someone should shoot an email to the sheriff about checking out the compound. It'd be nice to find her alive, but it doesn't explain the backing out of the driveway. That's why I thought it was more likely being high or drunk. But at this point I'm just spitballing because without a "tip" it's already past the time LE does anything more up there (once they do a few searches, nada). We're going to be waiting until someone finds a body then.

I think you might have hit the nail on the head. The person quoted here said more than the person I read in the forums.
"She wanted to disconnect, [she] was following God and going the religious route," Seubert said.

Questions unanswered: One year after the disappearance of Tara Sullivan

One woman's disappearance leaves detectives with more questions than answers. NBC 26 spoke with one of the investigators on the case almost a year after Tara Sullivan seemingly vanished.

Do you want to ask the sheriff about the cult or do you want me to do it, or we just wait and see?

She mentions Monday night worship in December 2021. If we can figure out if the cult had Monday night worship usually in 2021, or really any church in her area, it could help us figure out what religious path is to her.

I will, thanks.

 

[Keiri]

At the moment I'm waiting on an answer to my question I posed to some locals about Monday worship. Then I'll write it up. I want to be careful. My brain has been on the fritz.

Unfortunately it's a Marathon county sheriff case, not Shawano pd. want me to send it to her anyway? I sent it to Marathon sheriff but can send to both.

 

[Keiri]

Heard back - they checked sist months ago

It would be helpful if authorities said exactly when and where her phone was found in Ringle and where exactly her vehicle was found on Hwy 29 in Shawano County. This would help pinpoint the locations for potential witnesses to recall if they saw something suspicious in a specific area. The 50 miles between Weston and Shawano is a pretty big area. I can't understand the delay in releasing information, especially in this area where so many missing person cases have gone cold and murders have gone unsolved. The ones below are only recent samples.

Personally, IMO, I'd stay the heck out of Shawano County. I've heard too many horror stories including being systemically railroaded in their legal and court system with the main goal being to see how much money they can extract out of you. You can't even find a court-appointed lawyer to handle a case in a reasonable amount of time. IMO, of course.

BTW Quoth, Justin actually went missing in the Reservation not the city of Shawano. He's Stockbridge Munsee but he was spending the day in Menominee Reservation. so his mark would be way up by Katelyns. For Donna Christensen do you mean this woman? Lac du Flambeau Tribal Citizen Found Dead in Jail, Tribe Wants Answers | Currents Carmen drove off to Green Bay, last anybody knew. But some of these aren't on namus, where did they come from?

This looks to be a photo of an recreational axe throwing business that was called "Blades & Boards" on State Road 44 near US 41 in Oshkosh. I believe it is still in business, however it was renamed within the past year or so.
