Sarah Elizabeth Wilson was 26 when she was last seen on May 8, 2008, in Boardman Township, Michigan. Family concern grew when she did not arrive for a planned Mother’s Day visit in Big Rapids and she was reported missing on May 12. She had been living in Bloomfield Township with a man named David DeJonge, who was to drive her to her parents’ home before heading to his family’s cabin in Kalkaska County; that was the last known sighting.

Investigators focused on DeJonge after his statements were found inconsistent. Evidence recovered at the DeJonge family cabin in Orange Township included what authorities believed to be Sarah’s blood on multiple items, and tire tracks at the cabin matched tracks near Mecum Road in Oliver Township. On May 22, 2008, a torso was recovered from a swampy area; the remains were mutilated and DNA later confirmed they were Sarah’s. Prosecutors alleged she had planned to leave DeJonge and return to her parents, and that the victim had been moved and dismembered.

Parts of Sarah’s body were never recovered and significant questions remain about her final hours. If anyone knew Sarah’s movements in early May 2008 or saw relevant activity near Bloomfield Township, Orange Township, or Mecum Road in Oliver Township, please share what was observed.
