OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Two years have passed since Sara Ebersole vanished without a trace, and authorities are still searching for answers.
According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), on March 2, 2023, Ebersole, then 18-years-old, was given a ride to a residence on North U.S. Highway 441 in Reddick, where she spent part of the night with James Robinson and a couple, James Schaller and Teesha McDermitt.
Around 1:24 a.m. on March 3, Robinson texted Tyrone Morman, mentioning Ebersole was at his home. Morman inquired about meeting her and later arrived at the residence in a blue 2017 Hyundai Sonata. He left with Ebersole around 4 a.m.
