Californian Camper And Her Dog Vanished Without A Trace

On July 12th, 2019, 40 year old Sheryl Powell was camping with her husband and Yorkie at Grandview Campground, near the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains east of Bishop when she went missing. The husband told authorities that Sheryl took the dog for a walk to relieve itself while he was moving their Jeep. He came back 5 minutes later and she was gone. He searched for an hour before calling law enforcement through his satellite device.

Sheryl was described as an experienced hiker, standing at about 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a purple top. The dog was described as small Yorkie Poo, weighing about 5 pounds and has a red leash.

A search and rescue team responded with a California Highway Patrol helicopter with thermal imagining technology, and have been searching the area for more than two days.

Foul play is suspected, but nothing can be ruled out at this time.

Was Sheryl abducted?

I want to know if they can get a ping on her cellphone.

Do we have proof that Sheryl did go camping? Sheryl's daughter said that "So far the criminal side of the investigation has focused on my dad and on my moms friends as suspects, both of which ideas are absurd. My parents have an extremely loving relationship and my dad (who has refused to leave the campsite) is on the verge of breakdown."

UPDATE: Sheryl was found safe. A man tried to abducted her at knife point. She was able to get away, but got lost. Eventually her and her dog made it back.
