Her silver and blue 1987 Honda Civic Del Sol with the California license plate number 3CSA999 was discovered abandoned in Victorville, California on April 25, a week after she was last seen.

She is described as a highly organized woman who kept in close contact with her family, and her disappearance is considered suspicious. Her husband is not a suspect in her disappearance, which remains unsolved.
