Date of Disappearance: March 2, 2023

Last Seen Circle K gas station, 17980 N Highway 441, Reddick, at approximately 10:00 p.m.

Description: Sara Gail Ebersole, 26 years old, approximately 5’2” tall, 116 lbs., with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. She was  last seen wearing a hoodie with a soccer goalie on it and black shorts and black shoes with Gold clasps. Sara has a tattoo on her lower right hip of Kokopelli, a fertility deity.

Circumstances:

Sara Ebersole was last seen on March 2, 2023, leaving the Circle K gas station in a black pickup truck with two unknown males. It was reported that she left willingly. Sara was dropped off at a residence on North U.S. Highway 441 in Reddick, where she spent time with James Robinson, James Schaller, and Teesha McDermitt.

Later that night, Sara left the residence with Tyrone Morman, according to witnesses. However, Morman initially denied any contact with Sara and claimed he was out of town during her disappearance. Subsequent investigation revealed contradictions in Morman's statements, leading to his arrest for providing false information to law enforcement.

Detectives found evidence on Morman's phone suggesting that he and Sara were at a convenience store in Northwest Marion County in the early hours of March 3, 2023. Morman is considered a person of interest in Sara's disappearance but has refused to cooperate with the investigation.

Current Status:

As of March 3, 2024, the first anniversary of Sara's disappearance, Tyrone Morman remains a person of interest in the case. Despite leads and evidence pointing to Morman's involvement, Sara's whereabouts remain unknown. Detectives continue to urge anyone with information to come forward and assist in finding Sara.
