Found Deceased CA - Jennifer Evert, 34, Crescent City, 21 May 2013

[Portabella]

After listening to Princess's advice I got an idea. There are pilot forums on social media. Would you put out a plea for people on the forums... you really might be surprised at the support you may find there? I would do it for you but don't want to overstep my bounds. Just think its a hope/chance to get some pilots onboard so to speak....IMHO

If Jen willed the truck to one of her children then I doubt it is underwater. :twocents:

OK, so I don't know if there is a small airport near you, but this is what I suggest...find the closest small airport to you and go there. Lots of times these airports have small restaurants for pilots to rest at. I think you should talk to locals/ or even post signs asking for someone to help you with a search. Most pilots with their own planes have money and will do this out of courtesy. I know I would. Also, if this is not an option, is there a facebook page for finding her? If so, put your request on the page. There are many nice people who would be more than willing to help, I bet. If not, you can always offer money to get this fulfilled. SGT is sounds like you feel a plane is the way to go, so look for the resources and let's get this done. Hope this helps.

Excellent idea.

sorry folks, I am at work now and have access to a computer again. First, the sticker in the window wore off quickly, so it is gone. The gas issue is definite, as is the money she had on her. She had very little gas in the Tahoe, and I was going to pick it up from her work that day to fill it up for her...you know how gals get about putting gas in anything. We do believe that she purchased the snacks and soda to get the pills down. Something that has not been released yet is that she also purchased a small bottle of alcohol at the market. Enough to get the courage, or one last indulgence? The dead lake lead is not that viable. The dock is not wide enough for the Tahoe, and that is a well used recreation area. THe lake is not deep, and the visibility is good enough that a silver vehicle could be seen easily. Also, if you look closely you will notice the skid marks were made by someone driving away from the dock with a limited slip differential. The cleats on both sides are intact, and would have broken or had rubber on them if someone had driven on the dock. Feel free to dive it, but I think it's a waste of time and resources. I also believe the truck is parked somewhere, as in her will she left it to one of the kids. I don't think she would have intentionally ditched it in a lake. THe medication is Trazedone. 100mg. I know she had 26 left, because she had just refilled it 3 nights prior after being out of them for a few days. Air support is the only thing left to help find this vehicle, and I am not getting it. I am desperate to know where my wife is and if she is okay. I agree that there is a likelyhood that she may have been in an accident. If this is the case, it would have to have been on a back road, as 101 is too busy for a car to be swerving around without anyone noticing. There are NO other cameras pointed at the freeway that caught Jennifer driving. They have all been researched. She has vanished between the casino and the town of Brookings. If anyone knows a pilot who needs some hours, I can get a spotter to go up with him/her. I will do anything to bring her back, one way or another. Thanks for all the ideas folks, I will try to keep up on my phone when I can.

SGT - you may have already have done this but I wanted to throw it out anyways.

My ex is a pilot in Oregon but prior to being a commercial airline pilot she worked at a flight training school. There were always people trying to obtain a license and instructors building hours themselves.

Are there any near you that you could contact - maybe someone will be able to help or offer assistance? At least, they could point you in the direction of someone who may be willing to help you.

Hugs..

Another great idea. I saw several forums online and want to add there are also several Facebook pages.

On the Internet it says that Trazodone is difficult to overdose on and therefore people are not usually successful in commiting suicide with it. A dose of 100 mg is not a big dose of it--of course, if you multiply that by 26, it would be a big dose but maybe not fatal. It can cause dizziness, fainting, sleepiness, etc. that could lead to an accident. And it is not supposed to be mixed with alcohol, so that would boost the effect of the medicine. Its possible that Jennifer could have fallen asleep driving from the medicine and the car drifted off the road into some thick brush where it would be hard to see. It doesn't seem likely that she would shoot herself in the car/truck if she was willing it to her son. Of course, someone planning suicide is probably not thinking rationally. I hope by some miracle she is alive somewhere and just thinking things through in her head. I imagine she would have had ID on her so if she ended up in a hospital, someone would know who she was. An unidentified hospital patient would most likely be posted on the news for someone to help identify. Also, the car/truck would have a license plate that could be traced.

Maybe she thought that if she took sleeping pills or get drunk it would be easier to pull the trigger being drowsy?

Can you name some? Will make it easier for sgt. I was looking but didn't find any.

I would but am on my phone at the moment. If I remember correctly there was one in Cresent City, and a few north of there. I THINK I was searching Google for aviation related services in the area... went to Web pages and hit their Facebook link. I also noticed an air ambulance service, some sort of surveying service, among others. Even a bolo to these, imo, would not hurt. I found only one aerial photography, but saw no Facebook. There was some sort of regional group but for the life of me cannot remember the name. Sorry cannot be of more help at the moment. Should have posted. Will be home tomorrow so should find them. I can't help but feel someone may be more than willing to help, and it certainly can't hurt to ask.

bolded - This is an excellent idea as well!

 

[LivingJuicy]

Feeling really helpless but still praying that she had a change of heart. I guess we all have our share of sadness and pain but I hate that suicide is even a viable option for some. :-(

 

[mpnola]

Just a thought... have you checked to make sure she didn't take any camping gear with her? I would double check other things you may not have thought of at first to get a clue where she might go. It seems possible to want to take the items stated, including alcohol and a gun, to hide in the woods and think about if this is what she really wanted for herself and those who love her. I know even if I were contemplating suicide or running away or whatever, it would be second nature to surround yourself with comforting items or pack things you might need just out of habit. Like did she take her purse? It wouldn't be needed, but likely taken as it is part of what we do as people! Check for weird things but familiar things that are missing. She's not at the beach, like she said, so she is somewhere else. What shoes are missing? Flip flops would imply easy walking, hiking boots would imply climbing/ woods. Does this make sense?

 

[cluciano63]

Three weeks is way too long, if she did have secret funds, or a secret friend to run to (or both, really, if the gas was an issue.) I do not see how she could even be camping without money for food, etc.

Unless she had built up a stash of cash for a long time, but she seems so happy on her FB page in the weeks prior.

 

[MsFacetious]

I am guessing that the time when she started seeming really happy...
is probably when she had made the decision to kill herself. That isn't uncommon.

She may have been planning this for weeks...
just making some happy memories with family before doing it. :twocents:

HI guys. Today marks the three week mark. In my heart and opinion, the chances of her being safe and alive are very, very low. Trazedone is pretty effective when mixed with alcohol, especially when the victim is small framed like Jenn. I needed a break from all the conspiracy theorist of Facebook, and went on last night and left a post asking for privacy for a few days so I could start taking care of myself. Frankly, I am in recovery mode at this point, and believe this is the most logical next step. In these three weeks we have had no other sightings of her, and the vehicle has not been found abandoned in an obvious place where she caught a ride from someone else. I have mixed emotions right now of sorrow and anger. I have to sort through these emotions, all the while trying to recover my wife. I have left messages with the local flying clubs, with no luck. I think the stigma behind someone who is suicidal does not lend itself to sympathy from outsiders. I want to bring her home, and also want to stay sane. It is a delicate mix I am trying to maintain. I just cannot get the resources, and it is getting very disheartening.

I am sorry there is nothing new to help you. I'm sorry for the few resources available to you. If you need to take a break from WS, you should do that too. We can continue to ponder, but if it's tiring to you, just don't read for while and try to clear your head. We'll be here when you are! Blessings sent.

 

[summer_breeze]

Sgt809, please do take care of yourself!

 

[princessk]

SGT, PLEASE try to go to the airport. Messages are not good enough. We have a small airport near here and you have to interact with people. I wish I lived closer to you because I have a friend who is a pilot who would help you in a heartbeat......however, we are in Ohio

 

[LivingJuicy]

Just some random places that we could check into for possible help -

Here is a local (65 miles away) FBO. They do flight training. Maybe someone there would be willing to donate time and a plane. OR, they could point us in the right direction. I am on the east coast so it's pretty early there. Maybe we could make some calls to them and see if they can help. I also believe that there's power in numbers so maybe multiple calls- will trigger a reaction? Just a thought..

If you google flight training in Crescent City, a few others come up but they have no website. Maybe they can be called too.

I am going to reach out later to my ex who is now in the Portland, OR area and see if she has any ideas. She is now a pilot for a commercial airline out there but maybe has friends through the aviation industry that can offer some insight. Stay tuned.

SGT - I can't pretend to understand how you are feeling but I think you are handling this in the best way possible. Please take some time for yourself. Hugs.

i admire your strength and ability to think about all of this in a very practical manner. nonetheless, i feel a group hug is needed. you seem like an amazing and supportive husband. i pray for some sense of closure for you and your family.
