Sonora, CA — Kathy Njirich Fiore has been missing since Monday, when she left her sister’s home in the 22000 block of Sawmill Flat Road.
Several law enforcement agencies, led by the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office, assisted with a search yesterday in a large area around the residence. It included help from a search helicopter and K9 unit. In addition, numerous volunteers have been combing the area.

She was last seen wearing a light colored t-shirt, khaki shorts, and a denim jacket wrapped around her waist. She may have been taking a walk towards the area of Columbia College.
