“The sheriff department conducted an extensive search of the Polega property and some surrounding areas on June 4 and 5, 2004. While Mrs. Polega was not found some guns were found in the residence and one in the trunk of Polega's car. He was charged with being a felon in possession of firearms. On Dec. 6, 2004, he pled no contest in Marinette County Circuit Court and was found guilty by Judge Miron. A sentence hearing was held Feb. 7, 2005 and he was ordered to pay court assessments of $800, forfeit all weapons and posses no firearms. A second count of a felon in possession of firearms was dismissed.

According to court records, on Oct. 12, 2001 the couple had filed a joint petition for divorce and she was residing in the City of Marinette. It was dismissed on Feb. 20, 2002.”

NamUs and this thread states oct 14 as date of last contact but I suspect it’s a typo, looking at msm at the time. This is crucial because there was a body found on the 14. She could have been dumped. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

NaMus updated, they fixed the date to OCTOBER 4 instead of OCTOBER 14. They listened to me. I am very happy

I never heard anything in follow up.

Well she’s not excluded, I don’t know if they have dna for that one yet, or they are excluding other ways. Jordan karstan is listed as the ME on the case and is a tremendously nice person from my interactions with him. Frankly they could run this doe against every female in the state since she’s been dumped.
