I think I have the locations right -

Was she meeting someone in the area?

 

[Gobstopper]

The article says according to a Facebook post she may have wondered off or been abducted. What Facebook post is this referencing?

I don't think I'm allowed to link it, but there is a post on Facebook by that is easy to find by searching Gwen's name. It's approximately 12 hours old right now and appears to be from her father or a male relative. His intitals are AB. Check the first post of the thread and you will see the very begining of his post.

Gray Hughes covered her case tonight. It is the first case discussed, between 4:02 - 45:42. He spends about 15 min reading the "A Hop Along Friend" story that was linked here -- I skipped over that part because I had already read it here. There is no new information, but his maps are really great. He said to stay tuned, that he will try to find more information for tomorrow.

I live close enough to here that I've driven that road to go hiking. Just my experience, but no idea why anyone would stop somewhere other than a marked trailhead. Very rough terrain with changing elevations. Rattlesnakes. Iffy cell service. Wandering off would be a bad idea unless you had maps and a compass, imo, and even then... it would be easy to get lost not very far from the road. On the other hand, in summer there are a reasonable number of people driving out there for camping, boating on Lake Owyhee, hiking, etc. It's isolated but not unpopulated, if that makes sense.

Boise woman not seen for a week; car found in eastern Oregon

Originally published July 3 on KTVB.COM.It’s been a week since a Boise woman left home for a road trip and six days since anyone’s seen her, but family members say

www.idahopress.com

Jul 3, 2023

[..] Brunelle is described as 5-foot-7, about 160 pounds, with brown eyes and medium brown hair.

“She may have wandered from the car or was abducted,” according to a flyer her family and friends have been sharing.

“She may present as disoriented.”

Anyone with information on Brunelle’s whereabouts is asked to call Boise Police at 208-377-6790 or the Malheur County Sheriff’s Office at 541-473-5125.

 

[youarentsilly]

Just to note, depending on the source she is either 160 lbs or 130 lbs. Not sure if that is just a straight-up error of if her weight changed drastically of late. It may not matter but I can imagine some relevancy so I figured it doesn't hurt to point that out.

An example of 160 lbs. is the immediate prior post. Linked below is an example of 130 lbs.

Just to update, this is getting surprisingly little coverage here in the closest real city, Boise, where she is from. My local true crime group isn't sure why, no one has any inside insights.

This KTVB Article says it was updated July 5 (yesterday) - I don't see any new information, though.

Search for missing Boise woman continues with aircraft, ground crews

27-year-old Gwen Brunelle left home for a road trip more than a week ago. Her car was found Friday, June 30, on Succor Creek Road in Malheur County, Oregon.

I wonder why she originally left Boise. I also wonder why family members say she may present as disoriented?

More about the search from that article:

Several rescue crews, including Malheur County Search and Rescue, Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue, the Ontario Fire Department, and volunteers, have been searching for Brunelle on foot, on horseback, and by using drones, dogs and UTVs.

Focused around the area of the car, especially:

"Our interest has really been around the vehicle that we located," Malheur County Undersheriff David Kesey said. "The evidence with the vehicle kind of indicated she was there at some point, so we're just really trying to search that area to see if we can locate her. We've had airplanes, we had a helicopter up [Wednesday], we've had ground crews. We have ongoing searches planned. It's a big area, it's a rough area. So, it really takes a lot of work to say that you have cleared that area."

And a link to the FB post about the article since sometimes locals chime in with interesting comments knowing the location. Log into Facebook

 

[NervousNellie]

There is some interesting conversation in the FB comments. Nothing earth shattering, but discussing travel directions and distance.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

“Today we're really focused on the ground search, so we have crews from all over easter Oregon Idaho and we're all out here looking for Gwen,” Kesey says.

“The area that you can search from is not anything like you can see on the ground. You have the canyons and a lot of country that you have to cover,” says Kesey.

Brunelle's parents were at the search as well, however, did not want to speak on camera.

Kesey continues saying “Leads is what brought us here, so her vehicle was found here a lot of her property was with the vehicle so a lot of leads that we have just tell us that she was in this area.”

“I think we've gotten that out before that if anybody does think they have information they can contact Boise police department, Malheur County sheriff's office we're definitely interested in information related to this area if somebody saw something unusually suspicious,” says Undersheriff Kesey.

Officials suspend search for missing Boise woman - Malheur Enterprise

The Malheur County Sheriff's Office Friday, July 7, suspended a search for a Boise woman who went missing in the Succor Creek area more than a week ago.

www.malheurenterprise.com

VALE – A search for a missing Boise woman who vanished in southern Malheur County more than a week ago was suspended Friday, July 7.

Gwen Brunelle, 27, was last seen Tuesday, June 27, at the Sinclair gas station in Jordan Valley. Search crews were activated Saturday, July 1, after Brunelle’s car was found about a half mile from Succor Creek Road west of U.S. Highway 95 near the Idaho/Oregon border, Friday, June 30.

An extensive search – including more than 50 people – Thursday, July 6, in the Succor Creek area failed to turn up any sign of Brunelle, said Dave Kesey, Malheur County undersheriff.

“We had several different agencies, search and rescue members, volunteers and family friends and really didn’t get anything,” said Kesey.

A helicopter search was conducted Wednesday, July 5, in the area but it failed to find Brunelle.

Kesey said the search for the woman is suspended unless “we find some new information.”

Kesey said there is no evidence of foul play in Brunelle’s disappearance.

Brunelle is 5-foot-7 and weighs about 160 pounds with brown eyes and medium brown hair.
“We really have nothing to even to go on on our end,” said Kesey.

Anyone with information about Brunelle can contact the sheriff’s office at 541-473-5125 or the Boise Police Department at (208) 377-6790.

If you search her name on FB you can easily find a post by her dad with more details about the extent of the searches, which I thought was interesting/helpful to read.

He posted they've started a website to try to get info out now also. Find Gwen Brunelle – Missing Woman From Boise, Idaho
