    Her FB page indicates she was married in August 2015 ~ so I guess she was separated?

    Looks like this is who she married.

    And days before the wedding, posted this:https://www.facebook.com/MANDATORY/p...type=3&theater

    Hopefully not an ironic (sick) twist.

    I wonder why there has been no searches or police involvement in finding her?

    That makes sense. I was thinking she was last seen at the market, but that was according to her asshole ex

    Unless she works at the marketplace, it makes no sense for somebody to drop her off there. There is nothing around that store at all.

    Apparently the person who dropped her off, her ex-boyfriend, is known as "Moose". That is the name I keep seeing mentioned on FB.

    Nothing really new, but family now offering a reward.

    Family of missing Pendleton County mom offering $10K reward in her case

    ?Every one of us has cried every day, every day,? Tara Turner?s sister, Jessica Turner Rapier said. ?I mean, 15 days, there?s no way my sister would do this. She?s either being held against her will or she?s dead.?
    Turner has been missing since Jan. 31. She was last reported to be seen near the California Market on the AA.

    ?The feeling that we have is that it hurts because the feeling have is that she?s not alive,? said another of Tara?s sisters Trish Weaver.

    Turner?s family gathered Monday at Howard?s Restaurant in Falmouth and peeled back layers of theories on what could have happened to her.

    Tara Turner?s mother, Jane Turner, wiped tears away.

    ?Somewhere somebody knows where my baby is, somebody does,? she said.
    Pendleton County Sheriff Craig Peoples said even though he has limited resources, he has deputies working on the case every day.

    The Falmouth Dollar Market is the last place investigators believe they can positively place Turner.

    A check of security footage at the California Marketplace turned up nothing.

    It was the same at every place investigators checked leads, from Falmouth to Dearborn County, Indiana.

    ?In other cases, like burglaries, we have other things we can follow up with, but on a missing person?s case, once the case go cold you almost don?t have anything until someone comes forward and we?re almost at that point I think,? Peoples said.

    That?s why Turner?s family has started a Facebook page, ?Bring Tara Turner Home? and pooled money to offer the $10,000 reward.

    ?Maybe the money will sit on their mind and give them that want to come and let us know what they know,? Weaver said.
    ?When somebody thinks they may know something and don?t want to come forward, they need to think about, what if it was their sister or their daughter or their mother or their best friend,? said Tara?s cousin Laura Drayer.

    Tara Turner is white and 31 years old. She is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs about 110 pounds and has long dark brown hair and brown eyes.

    Anyone who may know of the whereabouts of Tara Turner should contact the Pendleton County Dispatch Center at 859-654-3300.

    I try to check on Tara's story every morning. Still no sign of her.

    I found this article which says this
    Peoples said his agency has yet to conduct a search for the missing woman.
    "As far as any formal search, we've not done any of that because there's not a definite location of where to start," the sheriff said. "If a search group wants to, they're more than welcome to."
    "Dumbfounded" is how Dan Turner described the lack of involvement by the sheriff's office in search efforts.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0c3c550506616
    I found Equusearch and this is what was said on their facebook page
    Texas Equusearch Ohio Chapter Our director contacted the sheriff this morning. They are not requesting our assistance at this time.
    Prayers and strength to Tara's family and friends.

    This really pisses me off. If professionals are willing to donate their time and equipment, why wouldn't the police dept approve it?

    Apparently police have 2 "persons of interest" in her case.

    Tara Turner: Body of missing NKY woman found, family says
    Police have ID'd two persons of interest

    FOSTER, Ky. – Police investigating the death of a Northern Kentucky woman who went missing last month say they have identified two persons of interest in the case.

    Tara Turner's family confirmed that her body was found Sunday night in Snag Creek in Bracken County. It was left to Turner's father to tell her two kids.

    "The youngest child was asking me every morning when I'd go to work, 'Papa, are you going to bring my mommy home today,' and that hurt me worse than anything," Dan Turner said. "But I broke the news to her this morning and I just got kind of a blank look on her face. She knew her mommy wasn't coming home, but she was hoping for the best."

    Turner's father said he went to the scene Sunday night and helped police identify her by describing two of her tattoos. The 31-year-old from Falmouth disappeared Jan 31.

    Kentucky State Police confirmed that a body was pulled from the creek near a bridge in the Foster area after fishermen spotted it about 6:30 p.m. Sunday. KSP said it was waiting for the coroner to release positive identification.

    Officials said they interviewed Turner's last known acquaintances and watched videos of places she may have last visited before she went missing. At the time, deputies said they did not suspect foul play.

    If they could identify her tattoos hopefully her body was in decent shape, and they will be able to tell how she died. I know water speeds up decomp, but hopefully the cold temps help preserve the body.

    RIP Tara I hope you get justice

    I'm so sad to hear this news.
    I know all murders are senseless, but I have a feeling this is going to be one of those super stupid senseless murders. Probably an ex who decided "if I can't have her" or somebody decided to rob her of whatever money she had. We'll most likely find out they killed her for $20 bucks or something.


    I feel terrible for her kids.

    FOSTER, Ky. – Tara Turner's father says his daughter was murdered and he knows who did it.

    "Absolutely! There's no doubt in my mind. We know who did it. We just can't prove it," Dan Turner said after his missing daughter's body was recovered from Snag Creek in Bracken County Sunday night.

    "The person that she was with had given three different stories where he dropped her off within two or three days of her disappearance. We know that he's got something to do with it. It's just a matter of proving it.
    Authorities say they have identified two persons of interest in the case, but no other information has been released. They haven't said how she died. The 31-year-old mother of three from Falmouth went missing on Jan. 31.

    It was her ex-boyfriend "Moose" who dropped her off. I think I saw where someone mentioned his real name. I will have to look again for that.

    Apparently his name is Michael Whitt. Her sister shared that is who "Moose" is on the Justice page they have for her.
