Michelle Angela Yarnell, 28, was last seen October 25, 2003, at her home in Ivy Bend, Morgan County, Missouri. She is described as 5 feet tall and about 170 pounds, with light brown to dark blonde or brown hair, brown eyes, glasses with round gold wire frames or clear contacts, tongue and ear piercings, surgical scars on both hips, and several tattoos including a barbed-wire wrist band, a green frog on her left shoulder blade, the word obey in cryptic-style lettering, and a sun above her right breast.

Her husband, Michael Shane Yarnell, first reported that he had returned from work and found Michelle gone and believed she had gone to Holts Summit to visit her mother, Marianne Asher-Chapman. Marianne reported Michelle missing seven days after the last sighting when Michelle never arrived.

The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office investigated and the case is listed as NamUs MP1298. Later filings describe charges and a conviction in connection with Michelle’s death, but her remains have not been recovered and she remains missing from her family’s perspective. Does anyone have information about Michelle’s movements in late October 2003 or about the area around Ivy Bend and the Lake of the Ozarks that could help?
