An investigation began Tuesday, when sheriff’s deputies went to the Weston home of 47-year-old Tara Jane Sullivan in an attempt to return a cell phone that was found in Ringle. Sullivan was not home, but deputies issued an attempt-to-locate bulletin to surrounding law enforcement agencies based on what they discovered at the residence. Police have not specified the nature of those discoveries.
Tuesday afternoon, off-duty officers of the Wausau Police Department were traveling on Highway 29 in Shawano County and saw Sullivan’s unoccupied vehicle parked on the side of the road. A search led by the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office has been initiated in the area along Highway 29 between Wittenberg and Shawano.
