If she is paranoid/fearful, she is unlikely to have accepted a ride with a stranger, which means she's likely close by. Hoping for good news today.

We are asking our community to please be on the lookout for Etherton in the Cutten and Elk River areas as well as the McKay Tract Community Forest. We are also urging the public to please refrain from the wooded area north of Ridgewood Dr. and south of Lundbar Hills due to the ongoing Search and Rescue (SAR) K-9s tracking in that area.

The Sheriff’s Office is actively coordinating the SAR operation. Sheriff’s deputies are searching the trails on ATV, on foot and utilizing thermal drones. Deputies are also searching the public roadways. The Sheriff’s Office has called in the use of the U.S. Coast Guard to search from the air. HCSO has also called in the California Rescue Dog Association (CARDA) volunteers; the Humboldt County Sheriff SAR volunteers are also assisting with the coordinated search.

I wonder what her recent weight loss amd mental health decline is attributed too? Has she been ill? Hoping she is found quickly.

Still missing, that makes me sad. She’s got to be cold and hungry. Has it been raining up there? I love the Humbolt area so beautiful.

In an update provided by the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department on their Facebook page yesterday afternoon, new video surveillance footage from early Sunday morning shows Etherton wearing a white hooded jacket with a blue plaid design—contrary to earlier reports that she was wearing a tie-dye hoodie in pastel colors.
Authorities are asking residents to review surveillance footage from September 8 between 1 and 7 a.m. for any signs of her.
The search area remains focused on the wooded terrain north of Ridgewood Drive and south of Lundbar Hills.

..she may be experiencing a mental health crisis, which could make her fearful or paranoid, potentially preventing her from seeking help.
