The disappearance of a former Knox County woman who went missing last fall is being investigated as a case of foul play.
Megan Foglesong, 22 – formerly of Oneida, Ill., – was last seen in Alden, Kansas in late November or early December, according to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).
Friends and family of Foglesong in both her hometown area and Kansas have been active in assisting law enforcement, utilizing social media and other outlets to look for clues to her disappearance. A Facebook page called “Bring Megan Home” is frequently updated with hopeful posts and requests for information.
A deputy with the Rice County Sheriff’s Department in Kansas, Deputy Brian Treastor, confirmed Friday that foul play was suspected in her disappearance. Treastor said he could not give specific details because it could interfere with both this case and another still under investigation.
Treastor said the Foglesong case will be turned over to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Foglesong is described as being between 5- feet, 3-inches tall to 5-feet, 6-inches tall and weighing between 140 and 170 pounds, according to NamUs. She has sandy blonde hair, wears glasses or contact lenses, and has a long scar on her right thigh. She has her ears, tongue, and belly button pierced, and has the following tattoos: a flower on her left hip, a dream catcher down the side of her left calf, a heart design on her right wrist that reads “thick thin,” and an infinity sign on her upper right chest.
A spokesperson from the Knox County Sheriff’s Department said that a reported sighting of Foglesong in May turned out to not be her.
According to the Galva News, Foglesong was a 2012 graduate of ROWVA High School, where she was a pitcher on the softball team.
