Details of Disappearance

Beson was in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin on March 17, 2025. Investigators stated she accepted a ride from three people in a van, who stopped and let her out at a boat landing on Kiboniki Lake.

One of the people in the van tried to convince her to get back inside, as it was a remote area, but Beson refused and began walking south on Highway D. The witness saw another vehicle stop on the road near Beson and thought it was the police, so he immediately left as he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

The driver of the vehicle the witness saw was later interviewed and said he offered Beson a ride, but she seemed agitated and refused, and kept walking on south Highway D. She has never been heard from again. Her case remains unsolved.
