Magan Elizabeth Baize Howard, 36, was last seen in early August 2022 in the Olaton/Horse Branch area of Ohio County, Kentucky. Family members report she was seen walking in the 4000 block of KY 505 N and possibly on US Highway 62 East, and some accounts say the sighting followed an argument with her boyfriend. Her brother Jesse became alarmed when her near-daily messages stopped, and the family filed a missing person report with the Ohio County Sheriff’s Office on September 6, 2022.

Magan is described as a white female, black hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 2 inches, about 170 pounds, with a rose tattoo on her chest. Investigators searched wells, used police dogs and followed multiple leads; there were unconfirmed reports she might have had a cell phone and a possible sighting at Barren River State Resort Park that her sister later said was not her. The case remains open and the family seeks answers.

If anyone in Ohio County or the Horse Branch and Olaton areas saw Magan in August 2022 or has information about her movements, please share what is known.
