DOB on missing poster puts her as age 40.

Google Maps shows it's 24 miles from Fort Smith, AR to Cameron, OK (very approximate depending on where she lives and where she was last seen in Cameron).

does FL tags indicate possibly she lived in FL and she just recently moved to AR?

who saw her last? Is it from CCTV footage if they know what car she was driving but not what she was wearing?

What was her plans? I'm assuming some level of preparation or a specific goal or place to drive that far and to be last seen at 9 pm. When was she reported missing, shortly afterwards or next day sometime?

All valid questions.

Unfortunately, in UK here and we can't see most of the reports on this case, so not sure what more is being said?

Any cut & paste snippets from sources appreciated!

If she was hanging out with some unsavory characters and then went missing, it won't take a genius to connect those dots. I would like to know more about where she was.

 

[Wild Rose]

I feel so sorry for her kids. They must be worried sick. That's their mom.

The email address listed on this Facebook page appears to belong to Tara. The page was created last year. It seems to be a support group for people. I gather that Tara was involved. I wonder about the story behind her involvement. Did she experience trauma or struggle with something?

Body of missing Fort Smith woman found in pond, three suspects arrested

40-year-old Tara Strozier was listed as missing by police on July 19, 2021. Her body was located by a pond near Rock Island on Thursday.

She was last known to be driving a black Volkswagen Jetta with a Florida license plate.

The LeFlore County Sheriff's Office assisted the Fort Smith Police Department to search for Strozier following a tip that she was possibly last seen in the Cameron, Oklahoma, area.

According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), a black Volkswagen Jetta was found abandoned in a private drive in Cameron. Due to the car being located without Strozier, foul play was suspected. The LeFlore County Sheriff's Office requested OSBI's help in the investigation.

Her post says she was sexually abused by her Grandfather, which made her turn to drugs.

The fam probably removed it which i think is wrong to edit her truth. Rip dear lady she seems to have been a very caring woman.
Horrific just horrific.

Oh, this is terrible. So heinous! Cameron is right in the middle of where all my folks live. Mama and Daddy grew up in Poteau and Heavener in Leflore County. Our family visited almost every weekend and spent summers all while growing up. Horrible. Just horrible. I’m so sad to come across this thread. It’s such a gorgeous natural area. This spoils some of my memories. We’d drive over the state line to shop in Ft. Smith on Sundays cause Oklahoma had the Blue Law back then.
