Melissa Ann Trumpy, 37, a mother of three, disappeared on the night of October 26, 2021. She was last seen in Monroe, Wisconsin, after finishing a caregiver shift and is believed to have traveled to Shannon, Illinois, to the home of her estranged boyfriend, Derek Hammer. Family raised the alarm on October 28 when she missed work and was out of touch.

Her vehicle was later found abandoned on a rural road in Stephenson County, Illinois, with her phone and personal items inside. Melissa is 5 feet 10 inches, about 163 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes, numerous tattoos including a full right-arm sleeve and a left-leg tattoo, and several facial piercings. Investigators have treated the matter as a homicide investigation and have executed multiple search warrants and subpoenas; searches have used K-9 units and aerial, water and ground teams. Hammer, described in the case as the last known person to see her, has been uncooperative and is jailed on unrelated charges.

A $5,000 reward has been offered. If anyone knew Melissa’s movements the night of October 26, 2021, or saw her vehicle in Stephenson County, contact investigators with information.
