Details of Disappearance

On Friday August 21, 2009, Rose Marie Bly left her home in Sterling, Polk County, to travel to Cushing to meet with her cousin. (Some reports state she was meeting the cousin at a bar.) The distance from her home to Cushing was approximately 5 miles. She had told her husband, Christopher Larson, she had planned to meet her cousin and she left the home around 7:30 pm. Rose never met with her cousin and was reported missing on Saturday August 22, 2009. Her vehicle was found in Grantsburg on Wednesday August 26, 2009. It was parked in a municipal lot, in a parking lot typically used by truck drivers to park their tractor trailers.  That area in Grantsburg was scoured for evidence and investigators went door-to-door, as well as using a helicopter to search the area near her rural home.

Bly left behind a husband and two daughters under the age of two. She doesn't have any credit or debit cards, and she left home with very little money. Bly's husband filed for divorce three weeks after her disappearance.  Their relationship was troubled and police were called to the home at least once to intervene in a domestic violence incident; Bly's husband accused her of slapping him, and she accused her of putting her in a headlock and banging her head on the ground. Bly's husband passed a polygraph but nobody has been ruled out by law enforcement as a suspect. His divorce petition was granted in 2010 and he has sole custody of their daughters.

Bly fell off a horse a week before her disappearance. She told her mother she was having headaches after the accident and her mother advised her to see a doctor, but there's no evidence she ever did. Bly's mother speculated her daughter became disoriented due to her injury and wandered away.

Case #WCSD 2017-5606


Details of Disappearance

Brody was last seen on a trail in the woods south of his residence, which was near State Highway 73 and south Young Street in Saratoga on April 13, 2017. He has never been heard from again and an extensive search of the area turned up no indication of his whereabouts.

He has been known to drop out of sight from time to time, but never for this long. He apparently returned home at some point after he was reported missing and left a note, then left again. Authorities haven't stated what the note said.

Brody didn't have a cellular phone. He used a bicycle for transportation his whole life, but the bike he usually rode was left behind at his residence. His residence was full of clutter, and he had no running water; he would bathe in a creek behind his house. Several guns were found in his residence; it's unclear whether any were missing.
