What we know:

For four years, federal authorities had been investigating a drug ring in Milwaukee. In 2024, Willis was federally charged with a group of others.

"DEA did the full investigation, and they deemed them all to be together possessing and distributing fairly large amounts of cocaine and marijuana," the U.S. Marshal on the case explained.

Marshals said rather than cooperating with the investigation, the 49-year-old Milwaukee woman skipped town with her ex-husband. He was picked up in late 2025.

What they're saying:

"The Marshal Service located her ex-husband in Ohio, and he was arrested on this same indictment and Ms. Willis still has not been heard from," the investigator said.

Willis has ties to Ohio and Texas. Investigators think she’s now back in Milwaukee. She sometimes goes by "Angela Vernon."

"Turn yourself in, get it figured out, go through the court system," the marshal said.

Willis stands 5’4" tall and weighs 295 pounds.
