There is a huge wildfire in the area they are missing from. They were last seen several days before the fire started, but if they were in an accident in that area I don't see how a search could be conducted. I hope that they left on a trip and neglected to tell anyone.
 
Hoping they're in a shelter...

Vivian Luna and Dolores Sakamato were last seen July 20 in Chico. On July 23, the women's’ phones pinged for a final time in Siskiyou County near the Shasta Ski Park.

According to the sheriff’s office, Vivian Luna and Dolores Sakamoto were last seen around noon in Chico on July 20. However, police say their cell phones pinged three days later near the Mount Shasta Ski Park in Siskiyou County.

At that point, a search and rescue team began to search for the two women, yet neither of them nor their vehicle have been found.

It doesn't make sense at all to go through Susanville if their destination was Shasta Ski Park. That's a five-hour trip whereas Chico to Shasta Ski Park is just under 2.5 hours via the route below. Something is very wrong. Nobody knows where these ladies were supposedly headed? :(

 
The photo of the vehicle doesn’t look like it’s being driven by someone under 5’ tall and 120lbs. Also Susanville is kind of an odd destination, it’s a small prison town from what I understand.

Not only did TG and the missing women have a close relationship, they also lived right next door to each other and TG told Action News Now they did pretty much everything together.

Vivian Luna and Dolores Sakamoto lived in the same building and Luna was TG’s caregiver and was with her daily.

KH, the daughter of 64-year-old Vivian Luna and granddaughter of 84-year-old Dolores Sakamoto, says the pair disappeared from Chico after leaving for church on July 21. A neighbor had been expecting to meet them on return, and when they didn't arrive the neighbor called authorities.

“Everything was timed and they had a schedule you know. This isn’t, she wouldn’t do this," she says. "You know, my grandma’s got dementia. You don’t take an 84-year-old woman with dementia on a three-week long road trip. That’s not something that we do.“

[...]

KH says if they are out and about they might be found in a Goodwill or a thrift shop. She describes her mother as short, and her grandmother as someone who speaks with a thick Spanish accent.

The multi-agency effort utilizing airplanes, helicopters, deputies and dogs has been unable to locate Luna, Sakamoto or their vehicle around Mount Shasta. The Butte County Sheriff's Office told SFGATE on Tuesday, 23 days after the women's disappearance, that detectives and aircraft were continuing the search.

"... apart from the cell phone ping in the Mount Shasta Ski Park area, we have not recovered any new information that definitively places them in Siskiyou County," the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office told SFGATE over email Tuesday.
