Plante was last seen on May 15, 1994, leaving her home in the Payson–Star Valley area to go to a nearby stable. Her disappearance was classified under "endangered and suspicious circumstances," and an extensive search at the time yielded no viable leads, causing the case to go cold. The Gila County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit reopened the investigation, using advanced technology and modern techniques to develop new leads. Authorities confirmed Plante's identity and officially resolved her missing person status, stating no further details would be released out of respect for her privacy.
