Cops Say Renee Fox May Have Escaped the Desert and Could Be Anywhere!!( Court TV Crime Library 070706)

Being a person that was born and Raised in that area, it is hard to be sucked into that heat and then just Escape from it. Once the heat of the desert has you and you are walking in the desert you are in some trouble. She has not turned up yet, nothing of her has turned up. Not a Body!! Not anything, which is quite puzzling to me as well. Usually there is something that can be found from a person if she had perished in the Desert!! That is why the Police or Sheriff in this case keep saying that she most likly found a ride and went somewhere!!

Renee was in a Mental state that she would contact her family to let them know that she was OKay, she would not just run away and keep going? That is why the feeling of Foul Play is upon my mind loud as a Bell in a Championship Boxing match and the first Round is just underway!!!

Cops Say Renee Fox May Have Escaped the Desert and 'Could Be Anywhere'

INDEPENDENCE,Calif. (Crime Library) — Investigators probing the disappearance of Renee Fox say they now believe that the 25-year-old divorced mother, student and sometime-drug abuser stumbled out of the high desert near Independence where her abandoned car and cash-filled pocketbook were found 12 days ago, and could be anywhere from Palm Springs to Oregon.

"We have certain reports and we're trying to confirm another report that she made it out to Highway 395," said Inyo County Sheriff's Investigator Paul Bedell. "It sounds like we have a witness who can place her out there that afternoon... and at this point it looks like we've got her out of the canyon and onto the highway."

"If that's the case," Bedell said. "She could be anywhere."

Renee Fox

Authorities believe that Fox, a young woman with a history of drug problems, who was, according to her family, turning her life around after an emotionally draining divorce, may have become disoriented while traveling through the town of Independence and lost her way, ultimately ending up on a hard-packed fire road in the scorching, mine-pocked desert outside of town. The rough terrain proved too severe for her late-model Volkswagen Jetta, and when the car broke down, the apparently disoriented young woman set off on foot. She left her cell phone — its battery dead — in her car.

During her wanderings in the desert, she came across some men who were four-wheeling, and they gave Fox at least two bottles of water. The next day, when the same two men found the young woman's pocketbook with $900 in cash still in it, they became alarmed and asked another traveler they encountered to notify authorities.

By that point, authorities now believe, Fox, who had wandered more than eight miles through the desert, had already made it to the highway.
