Authorities suspend search for missing Bay Area hiker

Authorities have suspended their search for a Santa Rosa woman who went missing after hiking at Bodega Head last week, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said.

The three-day search for Sunshine Borjas, 47, concluded after 5 p.m. Saturday with no new leads on her whereabouts around the rugged coastal peninsula near Bodega Bay, sheriff’s spokesperson Emily Fuller said Monday.

Borjas was reported missing Wednesday night after leaving her home that afternoon to hike alone at Bodega Head. She has blonde hair, blue eyes and was last seen wearing a gray shirt, gray leggings and black sneakers. She is about 5 feet 6 inches tall.

Search crews found her vehicle early Thursday in the Bodega Head parking lot and began combing the area by land, air and sea. Agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard, Sonoma County Search and Rescue, and local law enforcement deployed planes, boats, drones, search dogs and the Sheriff’s Office helicopter.

With no sign of Borjas, authorities suspended the search, while Santa Rosa police continue investigating her disappearance.

Sgt. Patricia Seffens said police are asking anyone who visited Bodega Head on Wednesday to review their photos for possible sightings of Borjas. Anyone with information or images is asked to call Santa Rosa police at 707-528-5222.
