Lisa Staes (Jack of Diamonds, Wisconsin)

Our card this week is Lisa Staes, the Jack of Diamonds from Wisconsin.

In the winter of 1976, Lisa Staes was trying to figure out what exactly she wanted to do with her life. Like so many 20-year-olds, she’d just moved out of her parents’ house and started classes at a community college. She was embracing her independence as a young adult.

But no one ever got to see how Lisa’s life would unfold. Because that same year she disappeared.

It took nearly two years for investigators to figure out that Lisa had been murdered. But in the 49 years since, they’re still trying to uncover why, and, most importantly… who. And now more than ever, it’s a race against time.

If you have any information about the murder of Lisa Staes or her whereabouts between Chicago and Wisconsin in January of 1976, please call the Sauk County sheriff’s office at 608-355-4495 and ask for Detective Bulin. Or, if you’d rather remain anonymous, you can call the Sauk County crime stoppers tip line at 1-800-847-7285.
