Overview

  • Two weeks into the search for Sacramento mother Whisper Owen and her eight-month-old daughter Sandra, Fresno Police Department continues to lead operations under California’s endangered advisory.
  • Investigators say there is no evidence of foul play and are conducting ground, aerial and shelter checks across Fresno, Merced and Sacramento counties.
  • Traffic camera footage on July 15 in Atwater captured Owen’s silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer with a missing headlight, marking the last confirmed sighting of the pair.
  • Owen’s mother has pleaded for anyone with information to contact law enforcement, and the family has expressed frustration over delayed initial reporting.
  • Officials are considering a medical emergency as a potential factor given Owen’s history of high blood pressure and preeclampsia during her recent pregnancy.
