It’s been one week since the Green County Sheriff’s Office was notified that Melissa Ann Trumpy was missing and her whereabouts remain unknown.  

Green County Sheriff’s Office personnel have been actively involved in the investigation ever since.  Deputies have physically searched a number of properties where Melissa has known to frequent.  Deputies and detectives have interviewed a number of local residents who knew and had contact with Melissa prior to her disappearance.   A search warrant was executed at her rural Monticello home.  Search warrants and subpoenas have been requested for telephone, social media and financial records in an effort to find any activity that could give clues to her current location.  Detectives have reviewed surveillance video from multiple locations in Green County.   Patrol deputies continuously search rural areas that are accessible to them and personnel have been assigned to travel to Carroll County and Stephenson County, Illinois to assist authorities in those jurisdictions that are searching for any information that could help in locating Melissa.  Our agency has and will continue to target our resources toward areas that have the best chance of locating Melissa.

There have been large scale search parties in Carroll County and Stephenson Counties in Illinois and the investigation has focused on those areas.   To leave no stone unturned, we would ask Green County residents that own rural properties, particularly from Monroe to the south to check their properties for anything that is suspicious or out of the ordinary and to report any findings to the Green County Sheriff’s Office at (608)328-9401.

Melissa Ann Trumpy, age 37, is a white female, 5’10” in height and weighs approximately 163 pounds.  She has blue eyes, long blonde hair and a number of facial piercings.

Respectfully,

Jeff Skatrud, Green County Sheriff
