Circumstance Notes​

June 8th, 2022 - Received information of Possible Sighting of Cara near Joseph City, AZ. Reporting party advised that they seen a female walking "on the back roads of Joseph City on the Westover bridge" on June 3rd, 2022 at approximately 17:30 hours (5:30 PM)

From the initial post, we regular old posters can certainly read between the lines.

Not so sure that her ethnicity matters -- imho we know about Gabby Petito because her family members kept after the media for information after contact stopped and cooperated with LE at every turn.

@Mardicat , become Ms. Cox' advocate. Call the newspapers in her hometown and in Joseph City and ask for stories. Share her Missing flier on social media. Call law enforcement (politely) and ask about progress on her case.

The squeaky wheel often does get the grease -- so squeak for Cara Cox & see what happens!

ADMIN NOTE:

We have reinstated this thread because Laughing subsequently provided an approved source but members need to remember our criterion for an Opening Post to start the thread.

An Opening Post for a thread must contain an approved source (MSM, LE, NAMUS, NCMEC). Doe Network and Charley Project are also acceptable if the former are not available. If you aren't certain whether a source is approved, please Report to ask before posting, not after.

Throughout the discussion Websleuths relies on trusted, reputable sources that we have become familiar with through the years. There must be a zillion MP groups in cyberspace, with thousands of them cropping up each and every day. Not all of them are an approved source at Websleuths because we are not able to vet each and every one of them or know how they vet their sources. Websleuths is strict about this requirement because such groups do not necessarily report accurately, and we have even had occasions where a person has been reported deceased when they are in fact alive and vice versa.

ETA: Edited to clarify

@MsMiniSleuth , does LE have a Facebook page in either jurisdiction? Links to those can be posted & comments (which can't be shared here) are often interesting.

" I left her at a rest stop in the desert."

Oh well, okay then. Makes perfect sense; what upstanding citizen doesn't leave their ex-girlfriend at the rest stop once in a while? I mean, we ladies just love those delightful rest-stop bathrooms, right?

Cara Caudill Cox is a Native American from Oklahoma. She went missing while accompanying her boyfriend on a haul in his semi. They left Oklahoma heading to California on I-40. Her last communication was May 15, 2022 from Arizona. Her boyfriend returned to Oklahoma with all of her belongings, but without Cara. This video includes new photos and information from Cara's family. Please share this video to get Cara's story and pictures out there. This story is getting very little coverage, even in Oklahoma. We will continue to follow this case and provide updates, and will be doing everything we can to help the family.

She also has a sister advocating for her.

There is always more to a story and multiple sites. I wish main stream media will pick this case up and the one she was traveling with is going to work with LE, because he was the last one seeing her?

As I see it for now her vehicle was left behind by herself when she started traveling with her boyfriend's truck and was later towed.
From NAMUS
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Vehicle has been confirmed as being towed from Love's Travel Stop at the Seminole Exit off of I-40 on May 20th, 2022.

There might be some contradiction in the dates she was last seen or had last contact in the various information. In a flyer is stated that she was last seen on May 13th in Bearden, Oklahoma.

Namus states: Circumstances of Disappearance. Date of Last contact was on May 15th, 2022 at approximately 20:44 hours.

I don't know yet what this last contact was about. Maybe a phone call (better) or a just a message (questionable. Was really her)

Is there any CCTV-footage of her at the Love's Travel Stop, seeing her leaving her car or getting into a truck?

In some articles it is stated that this truck driver was her boyfriend. Is it true ?

Red Alert. This is one case that has really been on my mind. It reminds me of the Gabby Petito and Brian Laundry case, minus the media coverage.
Today please See and Share Cara Marie Caudill-Cox. Cara was just 41 years young when she disappeared. Today she would be 42. She is a mother of two adult sons and is enrolled with The Muscogee (Creek) Nation. She lived in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, town just west of Tulsa with a population of less than 20,000. All of the information below is really all I could locate at this time. If it seems confusing, keep in mind that a majority of the information that has been released was shared by Adam Stapp.
On May 13, 2022, it is believed that Cara left Oklahoma to accompany her boyfriend, Adam Stapp, a truckdriver, on a run to California. This is something Cara had done in the past many times. This trip would be different. She would usually contact her uncle or one of her sons to let them know her plans. She did not this time. No one knew she was out of town. The family is not really sure exactly when she left Oklahoma.
On May 15, 2022, she contacted her family. The conversation that they had has not been released to anyone, due to the on-going investigation. It was shortly thereafter that Adam returned to Oklahoma, without Cara. He spent a couple of days looking for Cara in Oklahoma with her family. Later his story changed and he said that they had gotten into an argument at the Twin Arrows Casino, located outside Flagstaff in Arizona and that he left her there. Again when questioned, his story changed. He said that he left Cara in Essex, California at a rest stop.
Whichever story is true what we do know is that he arrived in Oklahoma without Cara and that he had all of her belongs minus her cell phone. It was not uncommon for Cara to drop off her car near his truck, as Adam lived in his semi full time. Her car was recovered outside Seminole.
What we do know is that May 15, 2022, was the last time her family had contact with her. All cell phone activity and social media activity ended that day. There are only two people that know what transpired that day, but we can’t reach Cara and Adam will not speak with the authorities. Multiple searches have been conducted, still no trace of Cara.
Below in the listed research is a video that one gentleman did of a drone search he conducted for the family. You see, there are old mine shafts all around the area in Essex that Cara is believed to have been left by Adam. Most have been concreted over, but not all.
It's heart breaking! Cara’s family has made multiple trips to California from Oklahoma and have handed flyers to anyone that would take one. Hanging them in gas stops, rest stops, and motels all in between from California to Oklahoma. I cannot phantom how difficult it has been….for over a year they have never given up and never stopped trying to get answers.
Cara is described as being 5'5", 170 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a green care bear tattoo on her right shoulder and a purple round birthmark on her left shoulder blade. Cara does not have any of her belongings. The investigator working on her case is Jathan Hunt, 405-259-7474.

Some unknowns: It’s unclear if Cara knew at the time of her disappearance that Adam was married. It’s also unclear if she knew that his previous wife had filed for a restraining order against him for domestic abuse.

Investigators in Oklahoma have asked for assistance from the FBI and OSBI. Currently the case has gone cold until the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department hands it over; its in their hands. There has been no media coverage whatsoever.
Let’s share her story all over the internet and help get her family some help and attention!
