Family desperate for answers after mother vanishes in Sun Lakes | 12news.com
His mother flew to Arizona from Pittsburgh on July 1 to visit her dad, Richard, in Sun Lakes. The family said she went for a walk Saturday morning around 9:30 a.m., while her father was out running errands.
When he returned hours later, there was no sign of his daughter but her cell phone, purse and identification were in the house.
“That’s not like her. She’d usually have her phone on her. She’d have an MP3 player to listen to music while she’s on her walk but to just leave the house with nothing on her isn’t right,” said Gabriel.

“We’ve been on social media, especially with the missing and murdered indigenous women’s groups,” said Julie's sister-in-law, Patricia Henderson, who flew in from South Dakota to help with the search.
Julie is Lakota with family ties to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
