I feel like I'm surrounded by
people who are going missing.
It's really kind of odd and creepy.
6 missing people in and
around the Idyllwild Mountain
community in recent months.
But is there a connection?
Good evening and thanks for joining us.
I'm marcella Lee.
And tonight for Barbara
Lee Edwards. I'm Carlo Cecchetto,
the Riverside Sheriff's Department
confirms tonight they are
investigating the disappearance of
six people in and around Idyllwild.
So far, though, there is no
indication of foul play as new
seats. David Godfredson reports,
some of the missing people
have ties to San Diego.
Missing persons Flyers posted in the town
of Idyllwild and surrounding communities.
Pine Cove to the North Mountain
Center to the South, even as far
away as Anza Anham it at the bottom
of the San has Cento mountains
in Riverside County. It's just
a weird coincidence that
there's this many locals
missing. Gabby Rose used
to work with Jade Kamerer,
the most recent person to disappear
the 30 year old woman had been staying
on her family's ranch in Anza,
but she headed up to Idyllwild in mid July
and checked into the Bluebird Cottage.
In a family member picked up her
son from the Bluebird in on July
2nd and flew him back to Ohio. Jade
is not always the
most responsible person,
but I will tell you she loves
her son Henley and I don't think
she would have left her son
without telling someone that
she was leaving Jade.
Checked out driving a white 4 door
Kia Optima and hasn't been heard
from since. I know that he's probably
gone, but I mean we still have
some hope. La Jolla resident Kendra Johnson.
Has been searching for her father Roy
Pre Fogle for the past four months.
Was last seen at the Pine
Cove Market on March 4th,
3 miles North of Idyllwild.
Search teams found his backpack
on a nearby rugged trail.
The 52 year old grew up in San
Diego and lived in Idyllwild. If
you have someone missing, you don't know.
Whether they're alive or not,
and you don't know. When to move
on or not move on and it's just
hard. 11 miles East of Idyllwild
in Apple Canyon is the sprawling
Bonita Vista Ranch owned by former
La Jolla millionaire Dia Abrams.
She was reported missing
from the ranch on June 7th.
Search team spent two days on the
ranch looking for the 66 year old,
but she remains missing.
She hasn't called anybody. She knows
she's just disappeared. The mother
of 41 year old, Melissa Lane reported
her daughter missing on July 4th.
Laying it out of a relative's vehicle
near the trailhead to Black Mountain
Truck Trail 8 miles North of Idlewild.
She may have tried to hitchhike back
to town. She wasn't afraid
of anything. She had No
Fear. Her mother, Kathy,
spent weeks looking for her daughter.
She asked us not to show
her face on TV. I think it's a predator
they could be stealing people for
the *** slave trade or it could be
a serial killer and there's more 27 year
old Vanessa Vlasich has been missing
since June 21st in the Idyllwild area.
73 year old Rosario Garcia,
who has dementia, drove away from her
home in Hemet on the morning of July 7th.
Her vehicle, a Gray Nissan sedan,
was found abandoned on a dirt Rd on Santa
Rosa Mountain more than 40 miles away,
and as the days go by,
hope of finding the missing starts to fade.
And the big question is,
is there foul play involved,
and are any of these cases connected so far?
Detectives are not answering those
questions, at least publicly.
If you have any information on any
of these cases called the Riverside
Sheriff's Department, Carla
Save a lot of people visit
Idyllwild for vacations.
Staycation's almost because it's so close,
many people going from San Diego.
That's right, uh, Dia
Abrams of missing women up there is the
widow of La Jolla developer Clem Abrams,
who passed away a couple years ago.
She has a huge, beautiful,
elegant ranch up there just
East of mountain center. Just
a strange mystery. Hopefully
we'll get some answers soon.
David Goffin's important.
