Remains believed to be those of a woman reported missing in early 2025 have been recovered after investigators followed up on a tip that led them to a home in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts.

For months, Jill Kloppenburg had been unaccounted for. Friends reported her missing in February 2025 after realizing they hadn’t heard from her since a text in November. Investigators were able to track Kloppenburg’s cell phone activity, and it appears to stop on January 14, 2025.

Then last week, a call came into police in Nashua, New Hampshire with information that got investigators looking at this in a completely different way. Investigators say the tip led them to 40-year-old Shawn Sullivan, who had allegedly told the caller what happened to a woman named Jill earlier in 2025, and that led authorities straight to a home on Audrey Avenue.

From there, they honed in on the garage. Detectives used ground-penetrating radar, focusing on a section that had been patched, and picked up on something beneath the concrete that didn’t match the rest of the floor. Once they started digging into that area, they uncovered the remains that had been concealed in a plastic bag.

Authorities say they are confident that individual is Jill Kloppenburg, although final confirmation is still pending through the medical examiner. Sullivan, who lives in the home with his family, has since been charged in connection with the case.

Authorities say Kloppenburg and Sullivan knew each other, and that she had been inside his home on prior occassions. Apparently, the two had reportedly been seen together not long before she disappeared.

Authorities in Tennessee are asking for the public’s help after an 11-year-old girl left a home in Franklin County Monday afternoon and hasn’t been found.

Michiko Furuya was last seen around 2:00 p.m. on March 16th on Old Beans Creek Road. She was seen again shortly after on Collins Lane heading toward Main Street.

She had apparently told friends she was planning to leave, and she wasn’t reported missing until about 4:00 p.m., so there’s a gap there they’re trying to sort out. Search teams have been out since then with deputies, K9s, drones, going door to door in the area.

Michiko was said to be wearing a gray fleece jacket, pink Adidas shirt, blue jeans, and either beige or black shoes.

If you’re local, check your cameras or think back to that afternoon. Even something small could matter. If you have info please contact Franklin County authorities.

I’m so relieved that Madison Fields was located and is safe. Her case is an important reminder for parents because it shows just how prevalent this problem has become. What makes it even more concerning is this: in a matter of days, two men were communicating with her online and attempting to move those interactions into the real world.

One of those individuals, Kyle Lawrence, had previously appeared in a video recorded by an online group in Canada. The group, known as "Dads Against Predators", produces Chris Hansen–style videos in which adults are confronted after arriving to meet someone they believed to be a teenager they had been communicating with online.

Investigators say Lawrence had been communicating with Fields through Snapchat and traveled to the Cincinnati area twice in January. Records also place the two together at a Cincinnati hotel on January 31.

Less than two weeks later, she disappeared, and as investigators began piecing together the timeline, attention naturally turned to Lawrence, though when the teen was ultimately located authorities determined she had been found with a different individual in Florida.

That person, whose name has not yet been released, was originally tracked to Tennessee, but when the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team showed up at the door, he had already left town. Investigators were then able to track him to a hotel in Florida, and an alert went out for both the man and the vehicle he was believed to be driving. That vehicle was later located in the parking lot of a hotel in Palatka, Florida by FBI Jacksonville agents working with local police, where Madison was ultimately found safe.
