Tara had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Her body was discovered by her fiancé when he returned from work that morning.
Richard Hooten, age 49, a convicted sex offender has been arrested in connection with this crime. He currently has a warrant for his arrest for failing to register as a sex offender. He also has prior convictions, including one for sexual battery in Indiana in 2009, and another in Georgia for aggravated sodomy and rape dating back to 1993.
It is speculated that Tara had become an acquaintance of Richard Hooten only a few weeks ago.
Tara was a former Jeffersonville High School cross-country athlete and had just earned her GED two weeks ago. She loved animals and baking cupcakes.

| Saint Christopher, pray for Tara |
Friends stated that "In all of her thoughts and all of her actions, she always tried to follow the path of peace."
She will be forever missed.
Tara is survived by many loving friends and relatives including her parents Todd Willenborg and Kelly Curran; two brothers, Todd Jr. and Derek Willenborg; sister Colleen Willenborg; and her fiancé, Josh Lewis.
God save us from the Lost Ones who stalk the Earth stealing away life. Amen.
Pray for justice for Tara. Amen.
Let us pray that Tara Willenborg is in heaven. Let us pray that she is at peace and is with God. Amen.
