Authorities are ramping up their search in Yucca Valley, CA for a New Jersey women last seen three months ago, reports ABC7.
Police say Lauren Cho was last seen walking away from the home she shared with her partner. Rescue crews searched by air and ground, but found no sign of her.
KNBC reports the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department joined the rescue operation for the first time Tuesday even though Yucca Valley is in San Bernardino County.
Social media users have compared the little attention Cho has received to the case of Gabby Petito, a blonde social media influencer whose death has been widely covered by the media.
Authorities released a description of Cho.
