    Today we search the Mojave desert near the I-40 rest area in Essex Califonia where Cara was supposedly last seen. Please read the video description for more information. I hope we can make a difference.
    Let's bring Cara home.

      Chigg if she was dropped off at the truck stop it would seem logical that she would have probably hitched hike a ride with a trucker going east if she was from Oklahoma. A trucker who drives that route on I-40 would be familiar with the truck stops going east. I think you have to go east of the truck stop to find her and it would seem logical that she would be on the south side of Interstate 40 in a worst case scenario in a remote part in between truck stops. Study a map from her last known location going east and look at the truck stops and the terrain and roads on the south side of Interstate 40. If she's out there I think she's at least 20 mi to 50 Mi east of the truck stop in Essex california.

    Pretty sure the bit of fence that was turned out was to encourage the tortoises to turn around. The fence was transiting from chain link to barbed wire. The tortoises hit the fence line and they cant get through the chain link so they follow fence line until it ends or turns into barbed wire, which they can pass under, and they head up to the freeway. To keep them from getting smashed on the freeway they put up chain link in areas with lots of tortoises. When they hit that turned out bit of fence and follow it around they are heading back the way they came, hopefully angled away from the fence line back out into the desert away from the freeway.

      I remember them putting up that turtle fence. I've also been traveling that hwy since it was first done or 4 lanes. The last 13 years was every day. And in all that time I've never seen a turtle smash on the hwy.

      You have to put your mind in that of a murderous boyfriend, if she was murdered, and what would do ? I don't think he would be that obvious and bury her close to the highway. Mine shafts are too well known. Probably well into the desert, away from anything.

    You know of course since the woman disappeared there has been a whole lot of monsoon rains out there. If a body were placed somewhere in the area you are searching, it could be miles and miles away by now. Of course you've already recorded all this but still wish you all the best, stay safe.

    Truck tires on dually’s can get flat and you won’t know it until it’s smoking or catch fire. Tire gets changed and they just push the over heated tire off into the ditch instead of transporting it. Much safer that way.

    In the off chance he was lying about the actual location. There are 3 more rest areas in a 50 / 60 mile radius from Needles. First being closest to Essex would be in Nevada on the 95 highway going to Las Vegas NV just north of CalnevAri between Searchlight. 2nd would be in Arizona Between Kingman and Lake Havasu turn off. 3rd would be south Vidal Junction, really a lot of Truckers use that area to rest, mostly just a vacant town now.

    I know you didn't want to get in too deep up under that overpass with that plywood. But I saw that one rock stuck in the ground vertically at the one end of it and thought, man that looks like a headstone. I so wished you would have moved the plywood fully and done a bit of digging. Who know what could be buried just a few inches down.

    I now have no desire to see the Mojave desert.however glad to find this video tonight because I have spent 10 days making election canvassing calls and needed to get far far away from that! ..this poor soul. Like poor Gabby Potito, really terrible life choices out of loneliness led to her end. Very very tragic. I remember when I was young there was that horrible movie looking for mr Goodbar.. Rare outcomes in those days now it seems common. I'm glad I was young and stupid when it was still relatively safe to be young and stupid.
