Concerned family members traveled from across the country to help with her search. Yeoman’s truck was found in nearby Gridley. Residents there say it hadn’t been moved for days.
Authorities have searched the home where Yeoman was last seen. They are also looking into text messages received by Alycia’s mother which claim she has been kidnapped.
Demands for ransom were made.
Alycia’s cell phone was found in an area near where Alycia’s vehicle was recovered.
