Julie Vessigault’s disappearance spurs airshow friends into action | Missing

A 47-year-old woman left her California apartment in January, never to be seen or heard from again. Now, her friends from across the country are asking: What happened to Julie Vessigault?
Vessigault is an avid aviation enthusiast who spent decades traveling across the country, going from airshow to airshow.
“Every day, if she could get into an airplane, she was happy,” said friend Donna Graves. “And if she could clean an airplane, she was happy.”

Great idea, having a show each week for missing persons. ☀

[@LG-rescues]

Possibly ask one of those diving teams who look for missing people with their cars. Accidents happen, and with nothing else to go on, it's worth a try if there is any water around there to check out. 🙏

[@sticklerforchange]

Yes, she likely went to a quiet area to be by herself, maybe her car will be found underwater, it could have been an accident.

Julie sounds lovely & has so much life glowing from her, wherever Julie is I hope she is safe & hope the family finds her. 🌺

Missing Colorado hiker, Lucas Macau, 23, was found 5/17/2024 dead in Rocky Mountain National Park after suffering 'significant fall'. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@shirl974]

Ah bless 😢

[@valeriefromoregon]

May he Rest in peace .. I was just in Colorado may 12th -15 . my 23 year old daughter lives there. I wanted to go hiking in the national park but to much snow. The high altitude alone can be dangerous.

[@Doktracy]

Very sad. I’ve done that hike many times as I grew up at the foot of Longs Peak.

[@yolandatubin8126]

May he R.I.P.

[@suzkornfan]

I live close to julie and havent even heard of her being missing!!!! Like less than 35 miles from her!! i lives in Sacramento, closer to roseville.

[@dorothysegovia8134]

Unfortunately Lucas body was found Thursday. RIP. Prayers to his family. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4S9gJxradelpcksi=mEu3ee2rBlvL2OSl

[@Starfish2145]

I feel horrible for the mother of Lucas. What a tragedy to lose your son on Mother’s Day. 😢Extremely foolish to try to summit when there is the chance of snow and weather. I wish these young men would use more common sense.

Prayer is the most powerful weapon of a Believer praise God praying For Everyone everyday God bless you all

[@psweeneyville]

Check the cliffs near the coast highways. I think leaving behind her cell and license points to her willingness to leave.

[@Cooking_Through_Time]

I was thinking the same thing. I think with the death of her dad and trying to care for her mom plus not being able to find a job, she may have just snapped. I hate to think the worse but leaving those items behind points she didn't want to be found.

[@joycewedel9084]

Why didn't you put the petition link down below on your description box???

[@steveguti6452]

Update urgent emergency please join me in prayer for Terri had Emergency brain cancer surgery last year she is improving she Desperately Need your continued prayers please pray for her and family God bless you All.

[@joycewedel9084]

Try putting posters up at Food banks/pantries

[@LindysEpiphany]

If her car hasn't been found start looking in waterways and any steep tree covered areas off the side of the road. I hope her family has answers soon.

[@Tamara-id1pe]

She needs a search effort that focuses on bodies of water and nearby areas that may have a thick canopy off the side of a road she may have traveled on. It’s very difficult in these times to disappear a car like that.

[@FirebalOne]

Oh my gosh I was a friend d of hers back in middle & high school. This news feels like a nightmare. 😢

[@sticklerforchange]

I wonder if Maria was kidnapped by relatives, since they knew when she was arriving home from her visit. It has certainly happened before, when relatives living in a poor country have relatives visit who are from a wealthier one.

[@rebeccafritz5546]

Find Julie

[@StaceyJoy14]

Why anyone would go to Mexico is beyond me

[@kathyfloyd4447]

Bodies of water

[@pettykittyfam]

Thank you for covering these cases Can I put a suggestion into the universe? Can retired cops from every single community get together & work on cold cases? I think there are so many cases where answers can be found and even some justice served. We simply need people to do it! Most regular Police departments don't have the time or resources to deal with these cases but retired cops with time on their hands do! Idk just an idea to put out rhere. Maybe inspire someone?

"First let us give you an update on a missing man, he is still missing " 🙄😂

[@joycewedel9084]

Is Julies mom still alive?

[@nopenope9118]

Yes, Julie’s sister says that her mom is alive. It sounds like she may have Alzheimer’s or something that requires a lot of care.

[@loua1519]

Julie's family ought to contact a volunteer uTube underwater rescue to sonar search area lakes etc.

[@patricianairn7474]

Marni Hughes sounds just like Amy Goodman from DEMOCRACY NOW.
