Carrie Ann Polega, 39, disappeared from her home on Shady Lane in Porterfield, Wisconsin. She was last seen the morning of October 14, 2003, and was not reported missing until her employer alerted the Marinette County Sheriff’s Office on October 21. That weeklong gap complicated early investigative work.

At the time she vanished Carrie was described as a white female, sandy hair, green eyes, 5 feet 5 inches and about 135 pounds, with a dark birthmark on her lower buttocks and a red rose tattoo with leaves around her left ankle. She was believed to be wearing a light green crochet sweater with a floral pattern, a white T-shirt, blue jeans and black boots, and wore a gold wedding band on her left hand and a gold ring with a single ruby on her right hand. Authorities suspected foul play early in the inquiry. Her husband, the last person known to have seen her, filed for divorce about a month later and has been named a person of interest; no charges have been filed.

No significant public leads have been disclosed and the investigation remains open. Did anyone in Porterfield or the surrounding area have contact with Carrie in October 2003 or see her clothing or vehicle around that time?
