http://www.stevenspointjournal.com/story/n...woman/99990966/ Questions linger amid search for missing Plover woman Chris Mueller , USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin 5:30 p.m. CT April 3, 2017 PLOVER - A 44-year-old Plover woman has been missing for three weeks and police still haven't been able to determine if she is alive or dead. “We don't know," Plover Police Chief Dan Ault said in an interview Monday with USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin. "We certainly have our working theories and our suspicions, but at the same time, I’m not willing to accuse anybody at this point." Krista Sypher was last seen in the early morning hours of March 13 at her home in the 3000 block of Hoffman Drive, according to the Plover Police Department. Her husband reported her missing March 20. Police haven’t been able to determine if Sypher left on her own or if something else happened to her, but remain open to all possibilities, including foul play, as they continue to work on the case, Ault said. Sypher’s husband has agreed to talk with police “every time they’ve asked,” Ault said, although the police chief couldn’t explain specifically why her husband waited a week before reporting her missing. “He has been consistent in believing that she is going to be coming back," he said. The residence where Sypher lived with her husband was searched Friday by a crowd of police, including state and federal officers. The street was blocked off for hours that day and police questioned drivers before allowing them to go by the scene. Ault wouldn’t divulge any details about what, if anything, was found inside Sypher’s home, or anything about what has been done with Sypher’s other belongings. “We’ve looked at everything that she owns, basically, at this point,” he said. Police haven’t uncovered any evidence that would suggest the public is in any danger. “If something happened to Krista, we believe it is somebody that she quite possibly knew,” Ault said. The detectives looking for Sypher have spent nearly all of their time working on the case since she was reported missing and have been following up on tips from across the state, Ault said. “I want to do absolutely everything we can to find Krista,” Ault said. “We’re never going to stop looking for her.” Sypher is about 5-foot-3,160 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. Sypher drives a silver 2015 Chevy Cruz, but her vehicle was left at home when she was reported missing. She may use her maiden name, Kellerman, or her former married name, Lorbecki. The Plover Police Department has asked anyone with information to contact detectives Mike Tracy or Brian Noel at 715-345-5255. |

https://www.spcitytimes.com/2017/05/14/plov...pe-dwindling/#_ Plover Police: Detectives Still Working Sypher Case, But Hope Dwindling May 14, 2017 By Brandi Makuski Police say hope is running out that a Plover woman who’s been missing for two months will be found alive. In what’s being called a “complex case”, detectives say they’re still actively pursuing leads in the disappearance of 44-year-old Krista Sypher, who was reported missing by her husband on March 20. According to Plover Police Chief Dan Ault, over 30 investigators from Stevens Point, Portage Co., the Dept. of Justice, Wisconsin Div. of Criminal Investigation and the FBI have all assisted the PPD in following leads. “Sometimes people misunderstand; they hear FBI or DCI and they think the case has been taken over by those agencies,” Ault said. “This is a complex case, but just because you come from a smaller city or village doesn’t mean you have fewer resources at your disposal — it just means you have to reach out and ask for them. But our investigators have the lead on this; this is a Plover case.” Sypher was last seen at her Hoffman Dr. home on March 13. Her husband, Jason Sypher, reported her missing during a walk-in visit to the Plover PD on March 20. It’s still not clear why the husband waited so long to file the missing person’s report. When asked if Sypher’s husband was still cooperating with the investigation, Ault said, “I’d rather not comment on that.” Lead Detective Mike Tracy is still receiving tips, Ault said, but right now investigators have more questions than answers. “I would say the new leads we develop are…yes, tips; but also further analysis of the data we already have,” Ault said, adding two of the department’s detectives have logged over 100 hours of overtime on the case in March alone. “We’re like puzzle masters and we have to put the pieces together.” The case isn’t without false leads, Ault said. Plover police were recently put on alert when a caller reported to the Portage Co. Sheriff’s Office that they’d found a body in a rural area of the county. Deputies quickly discovered it was not a human body, but rather an animal carcass. “But that’s part of investigating a case like this,” Ault said. “Regardless of how insignificant the details may seem at the time, every bit of information is important and you have to look at them all.” Ault said investigators have learned “some new things” since a March 31 press conference provided little information besides what was previously released. Though they are still working on active leads, police are still asking for the public’s help in filling in the gaps as to Sypher’s potential whereabouts. “Everyone’s got an opinion on what they think happened,” Ault said. “But the fact is, somebody out there has information on where she is.” “A cold case is when you’ve got nothing to work on anymore,” Tracy said. “This is definitely not a cold case, and [Sypher] is still classified as missing.” When asked if he believed Sypher was still alive, Ault said, “I’m operating under the belief that we haven’t heard from her, her family hasn’t heard from her since the day she was reported missing. There’s not her history; I think any reasonable person can draw a conclusion to…I would love nothing more than if she were to walk in the door right now. Do I think that’s going to happen? No.” “Basically, we think that possibility is scarce at this point,” Tracy added. Sypher is described as a white female, 5’3” tall and approximately 160 pounds with blonde hair and green eyes. She may use her maiden name of Kellerman, or her former married name of Lorbecki. Her four-door silver 2015 Chevy Cruz was left at home at the time she was reported missing. Anyone with information about Sypher’s whereabouts, or any other information about her disappearance, are asked to contact Det. Mike Tracy or Det. Brian Noel at the Plover Police Dept., (715) 345-5255. |

Police suspend landfill search connected to Krista Sypher case Karen Madden , USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 12:39 p.m. CT June 30, 2017 | Updated 12:39 p.m. CT June 30, 2017 636263152102181439-Krista-Photo-1.JPG (Photo: Courtesy of the Plover Police Department) WISCONSIN RAPIDS - The search of the Cranberry Creek Landfill to find information about a missing woman has been suspended at least until after the Fourth of July, according to the Plover police chief. Since Monday, officers working in teams of 20 have been searching through the garbage at the landfill trying to find anything connected to the disappearance of Krista Sypher of Plover. Sypher, 44, disappeared from her Plover home in mid-March. Officers have been wearing hazardous materials suits to protect themselves from the garbage in the landfill. Plover Police Chief Dan Ault said he can't be specific about what officers have found, but they have found "things of interest" in the landfill. "We'll have to look at what we found and make decisions on how to proceed," Ault said. RELATED: Plover Chief: Search of Cranberry Creek Landfill involves Krista Sypher RELATED: Missing Plover woman's friends seek answers The crane and bulldozer operators who have been working with police in the landfill need to break for the holiday weekend, Ault said. He anticipated the search ending early Friday. "We'll assess what we found and then decide if we're satisfied or we want to do more at the landfill," Ault said.

https://www.stevenspointjournal.com/story/news/2018/03/20/krista-sypher-has-been-missing-year-police-work-her-case-every-day/440113002/ Krista Sypher has been missing for a year. Police work on her case every day. Karen Madden, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 3:12 p.m. CT March 20, 2018 PLOVER - Krista Sypher's photo hangs on the wall above the computer monitor in Plover Police Chief Dan Ault's office. She's been missing for more than a year. Sypher was 44 years old on March 20, 2017 when her husband reported that she hadn't been seen in a week. The last known time anyone saw her was in the early morning hours of March 13, 2017, at her home in the 3000 block of Hoffman Drive in the village of Plover. "Not a day goes by that I don't think about her," Ault said. "Not a day goes by when we don't talk about her in the department." Her sister, Jenny, said the most difficult part of the past year has been facing the unknown: where is Sypher, and what happened to her? Jenny asked that her last name not be used in order to protect her family. "It's the not knowing; it drives you crazy," she said. "One day you think, 'Maybe she's out there.' And then the next day you think, 'Something happened to her.'" People ask Jenny about Sypher's three children all the time. They are doing well, she says, and coping as best they can. Sypher's adult son is struggling the most with his mother's disappearance, Jenny said. He reads and listens to more of the media reports than Sypher's other two children, both younger than 15. Ault said he wants people to know the Plover Police Department staff is doing everything it can to find out what happened to Sypher and bring the family answers, but he declined to release much information about the investigation in order to protect its integrity. Ault said he would not comment on any suspects the department has concerning Sypher's disappearance. One part of the investigation that became public was officers' search of the Cranberry Creek Landfill in Wisconsin Rapids in June. Police from multiple agencies worked in teams of 20 to search through the garbage, looking for anything connected to Sypher's disappearance. Ault said he's glad police did the dirty and difficult job of searching the landfill, but he's not yet ready to make public whether they found any evidence during the search. Sypher's sister said she believes police are working hard on the case, but she thinks they could do more. She said it is frustrating when police say they have information they can't share. But she said Sypher's family is grateful for the support and good wishes from the community. It's helped a lot to know people care, she said. Sypher's friends started a Facebook page, "Bring Krista Home," but Jenny said some of the negative comments posted to the page upset the family. So they started their own Facebook page, "Missing Krista," that doesn't allow negative comments. Jenny suggests people post funny stories about Sypher on the page. The Facebook pages have helped to keep Sypher on people's minds. Ault said he is confident his department, with the help of other central Wisconsin and state law enforcement agencies, will solve the puzzle of what happened to Sypher. "It's only a matter of time," Ault said. "I stated that in the beginning (of the investigation), and I stand by that statement." Sypher's husband could not be reached for this story. Anyone with information about Sypher is asked to contact Detective Mike Tracy at 715-345-5255.
