Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP78847) and 12 other sources
Jody Lynn Newberry, a 54-year-old woman from Bergland, Michigan, was last seen on May 27, 2018, at the "Mellen Jam" music festival in Mellen, Wisconsin. She attended the festival with a male companion, and the two were reportedly camping in the area. According to her companion, they became separated on the afternoon of May 26, with Jody last seen walking toward a creek on the evening of May 27. She never returned, and there has been no trace of her since that time.

Newberry was reported missing by her sister on May 29 after she failed to return home. Despite extensive searches involving law enforcement, search and rescue teams, cadaver dogs, and aerial surveillance, no evidence of her whereabouts has been found. Investigators noted that Jody left behind all her personal belongings, including her phone and wallet, which was uncharacteristic of her.

Jody is described as being 5'3", weighing around 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt and long pants. Despite the efforts of her family and authorities, the circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear, and no foul play is suspected at this time. Authorities continue to urge anyone with information to come forward to aid in resolving the case.
