Dog Valley Rd between Stampede Lake and Verdi...I would drive a 2wd car on this in the summer... ETA: Helicopter was back and forth over this road this AM.

That route could be easily managed by a Honda CRV. Dog Valley Rd. which is sometimes also called Henness Pass Rd depending on which map you are using, is essentially a gravel road. Some of the roads off it are more pot holed and rutted, but the fact that the CRV is all wheel drive, it would...

Knowing the area, Dog Valley Rd toward Verdi was the 1st thing I thought of as the only way out of the area without going on any major road.... pretty much all fire road. If one were up to something nefarious at Prosser, Boca, or Stampede lakes, that would be the track they would take to avoid...

That could potentially be a pretty big piece of information. Can you find out color, best guess at make / model, full size? Camper shell? Where were the stickers located etc?

Maintaining hope is absolutely what friends and family should be doing.... This site can be tough for people that are close to the missing person or their immediate community, and posts here can come off as cold, harsh, and judgemental (the nature of statistics) but know that we are just trying...

Maybe she was about to head home, decided to call her friend S to see if she needed a ride, and was distracted by the call as she tried to pull out of the campground. Maybe also getting ready to or starting to text her mom that she was en route... and this is bad case of distracted driving with...

Maybe she decided to relocate her vehicle, since it was close to the party (within 100 yards according to her friend's statements) to somewhere a little quieter where she could sleep better and / or sober up, but then accidentally went down the boat ramp.

With that bit of news, in my opinion, she either went into Prosser lake or someone shut her phone down intentionally.

I think by now, LE knows where and when the last cell ping was. If it was at Prosser Lake, that would indicate it was intentionally turned off (or thrown in the water), which might lean more toward foul play... unless she accidentally drove into water. If she was confirmed to be charging her...

It seems like we really don't know much more than we did originally... Significant chance options: 1. She left party on her own and crashed. (Statistically, this is by far the highest chance. Young driver, intoxicated, at night..She stated that she was planning to drive home and provided an...

Navigating a dirt road like that, above a body of water, in the middle of the night, after drinking, seems quite a bit riskier than potentially driving into Prosser Lake.

It looks there is some water very close to Cold Stream Rd that she would have to navigate passed to get to her house. That area should be checked also.

One thing about roads in this area also, there is a ton of wildlife at night. Experienced drivers are on the lookout and going slower specifically because of that.... a deer / fox / bear suddenly appearing in the road has caused many to swerve / crash at night on these roads.

The most direct route back would have been 89 South to 80 West to Cold Stream Rd via Donner Pass Rd exit. If one wanted to avoid the major highways, they would have taken Alder Creek Rd, through the "Tahoe Donner" residential development to Northwoods Blvd, then crossed over the freeway to get...

That would be San Francisco Bay area... 3 Hours from Prosser area, but large amounts of Bay Area people visit Tahoe / Truckee every weekend.

Yes, service at Prosser lake is generally strong. It is farther North and West that it is spotty. I'm not sure if she lives at the Lodge area that her parents operate, but I would think signal would be good the entire way from Prosser to the Lodge.

From my travels in the area... The west side of 89 to the North had bad cell service. The east side (on the roads toward Verdi) had service. To the south, you are basically in the 80 corridor and cell service is generally strong. If she (or someone) didn't turn her phone off, then I would be...

It would also be interesting to know when the last time she got gas was, and how much she had driven around since then, in attempt to figure out the possible range her vehicle could have traveled.

If she was impaired and decided to drive somewhere else (for whatever reason), then I would think accident is by far the highest probability.

There is a lot of shoreline at Prosser Lake that is vehicle accessible, it would be easy to drive into water. People back up right to the edge during the day and bbq / fish / kayak etc. There are also a ton of fire roads, the locals know and use them often. Every adjacent road should be...
