Details of Disappearance

Stewart was last seen on 19th Avenue between 43rd Street and 41st Street near Mauston, Wisconsin at 1:15 p.m. on July 4, 2023. She was at a friend's home, and the friend said she walked out of the house without her shoes, phone or cigarettes. She has never been heard from again. Not long afterwards, the man dropped those items off at Stewart's parents' home, which was down the road from his own.

Stewart's family believes she met with foul play, as they don't think she would have simply walked away without her shoes, phone and cigarettes, and they don't think she would have intentionally ceased all contact with her loved ones. Her case remains unsolved.
