I could not find any MSM. Will update if I do. I hope the MSHP website is enough to keep this thread open.

The only other thing I can find is her mother posted on FB that she's missing with a timeline and more details. I'm a bit fuzzy on the FB rules so, I won't post/link that at this time.

Her mother with missing info. Sarah Browning Oelke

Thank you, nao. Since I don't know their specific home address, I just used St. Peters, Mo as the starting point for the map below. The path taken, is a bit strange. If she were going near St. Jacob, Il, it would have been easier to just jump in I-70 from St. Peters to I-270. I'm not sure why she would go the way she did, nor why she stopped at so many different stores.

For those unfamiliar with some of these stores she stopped at: Target is like a Walmart, Schnucks is a local grocery chain, and Walgreens is a pharmacy.

Based on the locations seen in the mother's post, here's her most likely path. Map Link

The only other thing I can find is her mother posted on FB that she's missing with a timeline and more details. I'm a bit fuzzy on the FB rules so, I won't post/link that at this time.

Timelines from LE or established news sources (mainstream media) can be posted but we can't post links to social media of family members. You can state a generic statement as to "family members have posted interesting info on FB" and just leave it at that and I believe it doesn't violate any rules here.

The St. Peters Police Department has posted on their official FB page the details of her disappearance including the verification that her abandoned car was located. It also states she was on medicaion for "several medical conditions". Facebook

In MO court records there was a case filed against her in 2024 by an individual for "property damage" but the case was dismissed. No traffic tickets or other state records to be found. https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet/nameSearch.do?newSearch=Y
