WI Wi - Jody Lynn Newberry, 54, Ashland County, 24 May 2018

Editing this post - her family is aware of this possible, but no update on identity. Does Namus have Jody ruled out for this one by chance?

checking my photos of jody to see if i see these earrings anywhere.

edit: ah yeah, i remember this. i have no shots of her ears with earrings, was my problem with the cincinnati UP as well. This one sounds possible though. I wish namus had news article links.

Details of Disappearance​


Newberry was last seen at the Mellen Jam music festival on Gilgen Road in Mellen, Wisconsin on May 27, 2018. She went there with a male companion, who said they were camping together and were walking out from the remote campsite, with her trailing behind him, when she suddenly disappeared.

She was seen going down to a creek that evening. She never returned and has never been heard from again, and extensive searches turned up no indication of her whereabouts.

There has been no activity on Newberry's cellular phone, credit cards or social media accounts since she went missing. It's uncharacteristic of her to be out of touch with her family. Her sisted stated the man she was with changed his story several times after her disappearance.

Newberry has five children. The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear.

Had a naggin in the back of my head. Think it's here. There's so much more here, I think this is going to be my starting point. I'm going to compile for this one, i already have some stuff, but i might reach out to the sister again.


This is a case on the level that "Payne Lindsey" from "Up and Vanished", a "true crime podcast" that looks into "cold cases" of "missing persons". They have looked into the cases of "Tara Grinstead", "Kristal Resinger", "Ashley Loring HeavyRunner", and currently "Florence Okpealuk". I think this team could do some serious good.
