Investigators Continue Search For Clues In Nevada Woman’s Disappearance

Sonora, CA — The Tuolumne County Sheriff´s Office says the investigation into the disappearance of a Hawthorne, Nevada woman is still active and ongoing.

Lt. George Ruckman of the Sheriff´s Department says investigators are following every lead in an effort to locate 64-year-old Nita Mayo who has been missing for nearly a month.

Ruckman says the sheriff´s department is working closely with investigators in Nevada to turn up clues in the case.

He says the sheriff´s department has gone to Mayo´s house and talked with her co-workers and neighbors in Nevada.

So far the investigation has come up empty. Ruckman says a forensic examination of Mayo´s car turned up “nothing unusual.”

Mayo was last seen August 8th when she told friends she was travelling to California for a day trip.

Her car was then discovered at the Donnell Vista overlook two days later with her purse and personal belongings inside.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Tuolumne County Sheriff´s Office.
