Does anyone else find it odd that there haven't been any sightings of Deanna Brooks' PT Cruiser since her disappearance? A gold 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser with damage on both sides should be pretty recognizable, right? Given the number of people who commute along Highway 1, it seems unlikely that no one noticed it if it broke down or was abandoned somewhere along her possible route from Santa Cruz to San Diego.
I'm wondering if she might have taken a less obvious path that wasn’t thoroughly searched. Also, if anyone remembers seeing any vehicle or driver like hers from back then—no matter how minor the detail—it could really help piece together what happened. I know it's been years, but stranger things have happened with cold cases being solved through a single testimony. Thoughts?
Has anyone looked into the routes Deanna might have taken towards San Diego? I understand from previous discussions that she used to travel the coastal routes for the scenic views. Considering her possible dementia, it's concerning to think she might have been drawn off-course by a more unfamiliar route or become confused about her destination altogether. Also, given the unique damage on her PT Cruiser, I’m surprised there haven’t been more sightings reported. It feels like such a distinctive clue. I wonder if any local shops or gas stations along those roads have been re-interviewed for footage or memories from that day. Any California locals here might want to keep an extra eye out—small but noticeable details like those can stand out.
