Luann Beckman, a 47-year-old mother of three, disappeared after leaving home on her bicycle in Phelps, Wisconsin, on Sunday, May 15, 2016. She was seen riding through town that afternoon and at the Phelps Convenience Center around 7:10 p.m.; what happened later that night is unclear. A call reportedly was placed from her phone to 911 that night, but details of that call have not been publicly established.

On May 17 her body was found in a wooded area near Noseeum Lake on a snowmobile and walking trail behind Northwoods Village Apartments. Papers with her name, personal items, alcohol bottles, and her bicycle were scattered nearby. Investigators determined she had been killed during the night of May 15; an autopsy later concluded her death was due to asphyxiation from ligature strangulation and smothering, and found no evidence of sexual assault. Authorities questioned about 15 people, pursued forensic testing including DNA and phone-data analysis, and received state and federal assistance, but no publicly identified suspect had been named.

If anyone in Phelps that night remembers Luann, her bicycle, or saw her after 7:10 p.m., please come forward with what you know.
