Tamera Lynn Banks, also known as Tamera L. Ellison, was 43 when she was last seen at her home off Highway 64 in Muskogee County on November 15, 2021. She failed to appear for a court hearing the next day about a protective order she had filed against her husband, and investigators found her dog without food or water and her vehicle, phone, and medications still at the property. Family members stressed she loved her horses and would not have left them uncared for or departed without telling anyone.

Tamera had obtained an emergency protective order against her husband, Dayan Banks, on October 25, 2021, and he was charged afterward with domestic assault, feloniously pointing a firearm, and disrupting an emergency telephone call. Investigators focused on him as the inquiry continued; prosecutors alleged he had killed Tamera on or around the day she was last seen and that her remains had been desecrated. Tamera’s body has not been recovered.

Does anyone who knew Tamera, her routines, or movements in Haskell in November 2021 have information that could help clarify what happened?
