Elnora Charles, a 62-year-old grandmother, was last seen in Tucson, Arizona, on November 15, 2007. That afternoon she and her son retrieved her cream-colored 1980 Chevrolet Caprice from a towing company and returned home around 5:00 p.m. Later that evening the car was reportedly seen on the road, but it is unconfirmed whether she was driving.

Two days later a hiker found the Caprice abandoned on a dirt road near Incinerator Ridge on Mount Lemmon. Some of Elnora’s personal items — keys, purse, and shoes — were left near the vehicle. Reports conflict about whether blood was found inside the car. Family members say it would have been uncharacteristic for her to drive up the mountain, and a Pima County Sheriff’s Office search turned up no sign of her. The Tucson Police Department is investigating; several post-disappearance sightings were reported but none confirmed. A reward has been offered for information.

What did anyone in the Tucson area see on or after November 15, 2007, that might help locate Elnora or explain why her car was left on Mount Lemmon?
