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.

Yeah, I think they went there instead of going to church that night because church was cancelled. But maybe people knew her or saw her at this place.

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 is a different Donna.

MMNA na Instagramu : "Donna Christensen has been missing from Mosinee, Wisconsin for almost one year. She is 18 years old, 5'6" tall and was 150 lbs at the time of her disappearance. Donna may travel to #Greenbay, Wisconsin If you have any information on her whereabouts contact the National Center for Missing and National Center for Missing & Exploited Children reference number 1292117 1-800-THE LOST. #ncmec #mmna #mmiw #mmnawm #missingpersons #missingmurderednatives #missingandmurderedindigenouswomen #indiancountry #mosinee #wisconsin"

Carmen Owens was last seen on November 2nd, 1998 at the Shawano bus station in the vicinity of the 1200 block of East Green Bay Street in Shawano, Wisconsin.

So, if she frequented Blades & Boards in Oshkosh and then Section 715 Throwing Co. in Wausau, I think that establishes axe throwing as one of her recreational activities. That's a little more that we know about her now than we did before. It might eventually turn into a lead somewhere down the road.

email back from law enforcement. They did check the ringle storage cameras, no dice. They checked all the areas on our maps circled. No luck. They said the article got some things wrong (didn’t specify what) but they welcome ideas. And I mentioned it before but nothing with sist (the cult) is involved. I asked on Reddit if anyone knew where she went to church and nobody knew. Complete brick wall on this case. LE isn’t withholding anything because there’s nothing to withhold, she just poofed. Maybe hunters will find something but I’m out of thoughts.

 

[Keiri]

I should add, I emailed Stefonek back and told him that even with SIST out of the picture, he should check the churches. Other church goers or even the clerics may have seen her after this event, or noticed her behaviors change over time. I’ll say this here but not to him because I sound crazy. But I think her increasing isolation and odd behavior that night was either drug related or schizophrenia related paranoia. Time shifting is this thing where you don’t even recognize your own house during an attack. Backing out without knowing you have a garage door sounds like it to me. If it were someone else driving her car I’d assume they’d look before they pull out. Not so of someone not in their right mind. It’s possible she’s still somewhere, hiding.

Good job. Glad to hear they checked the cameras. Too bad they didn't mention whether they saw her vehicle go by.

I pretty much lean to the theory that she surprised a burglar(s), probably about 7 pm, April 17. He/they panicked, took her, crashed her vehicle through the garage door. (too bad we don't know whether the garage door opener was found in the car) The vehicle headed east on Connie Lane to, then left on Old Costa Lane, then east on Schofield Ave, which merges into Ringle Ave, thinking it merged with the freeway. Tossed the phone at the Ringle deadend, doubled back to Highway Q, went south on Q, got on the freeway (29) heading east, turned off (right) on Old 29 Road and haphazardly parked the vehicle on the side of that road at an angle. Got into another vehicle that picked her and the burglar up. That other vehicle may have been following, too, from her apartment or even from the deadend.

What we do know is that time-stamped location data from her phone shows it traveling down Ringle Avenue on April 17. Pairing that with what the neighbors heard, they believe the garage damage happened first, then the phone was left in Ringle. Even though data shows where and when the phone was left... (Link below)

Too bad we don't know when the phone was left at the dead end. Was that shortly after the vehicle crashed through the garage door? Or much later?

“There was one tip that we received that there was possibly another vehicle parked in that same area, but we followed up on that lead and weren’t able to find anything,” Seubert said. (Link below)

Forgotten Wisconsin Cold Cases: Tara Sullivan - Digital Ghost

For one year, the investigation into a Weston woman’s disappearance has been kept private, but now, investigators are sharing what they’ve learned after taking a deep dive into her digital data.

www.wsaw.com

Also from that news article it shows her vehicle parked off Old 29. It shows a Bible verse on her license plate; Matthew 6:33. (Another reason I don't think she left on her own without contacting anyone)

I agree that it would be helpful to find out what church she was involved with when she went missing. Someone must know this!

What does that tell us, though?

If she was abducted, then perhaps the abductor also frequented that type of place.

 

[Keiri]

I honestly think she had a mental break and ended up lost in the woods somewhere. It's so hard to find lost people in those forests.

 

[Naenaerae]

What does that tell us, though?

If she did leave on her own will, maybe she could have found another axe throwing place in her new community? Or, if she was abducted, maybe that’s where the abductor took notice of her? Any possibility is still worth considering, and like @Quoththeraven said, it’s more information that could eventually turn into a lead.

Also maybe you can help me figure this out. Link from Tara's FB

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 believe this was the Blades & Boards location in Wausau at 3109 Rib Mountain Dr, Wausau, WI 54401. It has since been renamed Section 715 Throwing Co.

As far as churches that have Monday night worship in the area, here are a few possibilities:

Saint Matthew Catholic Church
227 South 28th Avenue, Wausau, WI 54401
6:00pm every Monday

Highland Community Church
1005 N. 28th Avenue, Wausau, WI 54401
Young Adult group every 3rd Monday

River City Church
613 N. 5th St. Wausau, WI 54401
Organizes “house churches” that meet throughout the week

Tara listed biking and hiking as some of her interests on her realtor profile. Might she have had her bike and/or hiking stuff with her? The Enclave is a 3 row suv, so she probably could have fit a bike in the back.

Where her car was left (purple dot in map center), there’s a few campgrounds (blue squares) in the vicinity. The county highways are pretty bike-friendly and the state’s Mountain Bay biking/walking trail runs east to west (green line). You can see the larger version of this map here: https://www.co.shawano.wi.us/i/f/files/Maps & Land Records/Summer Rec Map.pdf

The mountain bay trail is around 80 miles long stretching from Weston to Green Bay. The Weston stretch of the trail is actually pretty close to her neighborhood, so she was likely familiar with it.

Maybe, but the circumstances of backing out her car through her driveway, losing her phone and parking haphazardly suggests to me she was in a state of panic and probably ran off by foot. If I lived in the area I’d walk along the waterways. But I live far.

This case may have been brought about BECAUSE she went missing as opposed to being related in any way to WHY she went missing but putting it out there.

I believe that was a judgement for unpaid rent due on her lease after she disappeared and prob damage to the garage door.

I think it probably just all added up, depression, debts, it’s an endless cycle. Real estate jobs can be good for depression because you do it on your own time, but bad because of the lack of financial security and routine. Same as consultants.

Why panic as opposed to, let's say, drunk or crazy or plain careless if she was going to commit suicide and knew she wasn't going to pay for a broken door?
