Schroeder was last seen in Steubenville, Ohio on November 24, 2010. She was supposed to go to her mother's home the next day for the family Thanksgiving celebration, but she never arrived. She has never been heard from again. Authorities believe she was taken against her will by her live-in boyfriend, Garrett Roston. A photo and vital statistics for Roston are posted below this case summary. He has a long criminal history and there's a warrant out for his arrest for credit card fraud.

At first after Schroder disappeared, police believed she had left of her own accord with Roston. After months passed without contact, however, they decided she was probably being held against her will. She had kept in daily contact with her family before her disappearance, but they haven't heard from her since she went missing. She and Roston may be living under false identities.
