Volunteers are being sought for another ground search for Starla Goings, a Munising-area woman missing since August 2025.

Volunteers are to meet at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24 at the 16 Mile Lake Fire Hall in the Munising area, according to The Mining Journal. The search will cover wooded areas using trained search-and-rescue teams and human remains detection dogs, according to Goings' daughter, Steffanie Goings-Rhen.

"We are asking for the community's help as we continue searching for Starla," Goings-Rhen told the newspaper. "All volunteers who are physically able to participate are welcome."

Goings, who was 65 when she disappeared, was last seen on Aug. 15, 2025. Her 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan was found two days later near the intersection of 16 Mile Lake Road and M-94, according to The Mining Journal. She was reported missing on Aug. 17, 2025, after her adult children had not heard from her for two days, according to MyUPNow.

The Alger County Sheriff's Office has said foul play is a possibility in Goings' disappearance.

Several large-scale searches have taken place over the past year. A weeklong effort from Aug. 20 through Aug. 27, 2026, drew agents from multiple Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) units, including their Underwater Search and Evidence Recovery Team and canine teams. Michigan State Police, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Forest Service also participated, according to WNMU.

Matt Waldron of the Alger County Sheriff's Office told MyUPNow on Aug. 27, following that weeklong search, that the sheriff's office believes significant efforts have been conducted and will continue. He said all agencies involved remain committed to the investigation. Waldron did not say whether the search yielded significant findings.

When she was reported missing, Goings was described as a white woman, about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, with short white hair and brown eyes, according to 9&10 News.

According to The Mining Journal, volunteers should bring food and water and dress for the weather, with sturdy footwear and bright clothing. Organizers ask participants not to bring children, dogs or drones, which could interfere with search operations.

Nick Livermore, Goings' son, said the family will not stop looking. "You never know what an extra set of eyes might find …" Livermore told The Mining Journal.
