MUSKOGEE COUNTY, Oklv. – It has been almost nine years since the disappearance of Mvskoke citizen Peggy McGuire, and still there has been no trace of her whereabouts. Recently on Feb. 21 local law enforcement, including Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Police received a tip on the investigation to search a pond in a property located in southern Muskogee County. The LPD dive team was dispatched to the pond to search for possible remains.
In a statement from Muscogee (Creek) Nation Press Secretary Jason Salsman, the tip unfortunately did not produce the results law enforcement was hoping for. The statement reads,
“Muskogee County was contacted by a news organization that had received a tip that this area may contain the remains of Peggy McGuire, a Muscogee Creek citizen missing since 2015. The initial search of the pond yielded no results, however LHPD and Muskogee County will continue to monitor and search the area while following any additional leads that may come from this investigation.”
McGuire was last seen on November 16, 2015 dropping her son off at school outside of Eufaula. Two days later McGuire’s Toyota truck was recovered from the parking lot of TJ’s Ice House Bar in McIntosh County. The last person she spoke with was her step-father.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation requests that those with tips regarding the McGuire investigation submit them to tips@osbi.ok.gov.
