Investigators now say Beson, a member of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, accepted a ride from three local individuals in a van shortly after being seen walking on Indian Village Road on March 17, 2025.

The vehicle stopped at a boat landing on Kiboniki Lake, where Beson exited and began walking south along County Highway D.

Search efforts are now concentrated along County D, south of the Kiboniki Lake boat landing.

IMO, one or all of the people in the van caused her to be agitated and caused her to leave the van. And then one of them followed her? There's more to this story.

The vehicle stopped at a boat landing on Kiboniki Lake, where Beson exited and began walking south along County Highway D.

A man in the van followed on foot, saw another vehicle pull over near Beson and fled into nearby woods because he had an outstanding arrest warrant and presumed the vehicle was law enforcement. Believing Beson had been picked up by deputies, he returned to the van. Investigators later identified and interviewed the driver of the stopped vehicle, who said Beson appeared highly agitated and declined a ride, continuing south on Highway D near Headflyer Road.

“Agitated” is such an interestingly vague term for LE to use. Was she angry? Nervous? Scared?

There could be a lot of possible scenarios causing her to react that way. Maybe someone in the van confronted her about something? Maybe she accepted and/or arranged the ride to get away from something? Maybe they used a substance while in the van that caused feelings of agitation?
