CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A young Clearlake woman who went to Nevada earlier this month and has since had no contact with family or friends has had a recent contact with police, according to new information in the case.
Desirae Deweese, 22, had been reported missing by her father earlier this month after the trip to Reno with her ex-boyfriend, who reportedly returned without her following an argument, as Lake County News has reported.
She had had contacts with Reno Police on March 6 and March 8, and appeared in good health at that time, according to Sgt. Nick Bennett of the Clearlake Police Department, the agency that took the missing person’s report.
On Friday, Bennett told Lake County News that Reno Police reported having had another, more recent contact with the young woman.
Bennett said that on Friday, March 15, police had found her loitering outside of a Reno motel at about 2:30 a.m.
Deweese told police she didn’t want any help, said Bennett, and she’s since been removed from the missing persons system.
“I don’t know what she’s doing there,” Bennett said. “I’m still concerned about her.”
Family friend Renee Martin has been worried about Deweese, whose mother recently died.
The young woman was not in a good state of mind after that personal loss, Martin said.
Martin said she’s prepared to get some people together to go to Reno and try to find Deweese to bring her home.
