Staci Lei Paul, 36, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, was last seen early on January 4, 2009. Around 3:50 a.m. her vehicle was driven off a pier into Lake Michigan; the car was recovered about fifty feet from the end of the pier with one window broken but no sign of Staci inside or nearby. Investigators found no human remains in the vehicle and have since presumed her deceased, although her body has never been recovered.

At the time she disappeared Staci was reported to be under significant personal stress, including financial problems and an eviction. Authorities have said the circumstances suggest a deliberate act. She left behind a ten-year-old son. She was last seen wearing a white winter coat and a butterfly necklace and had tattoos on her shoulder and lower abdomen.

Anyone who knew Staci or who may have information about her movements that night is asked to contact the Kenosha Sheriff’s Department.
