APTOS — Local law enforcement officials continue to search for 35-year-old Danielle Staley almost a week after she disappeared from a beach in Aptos.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Zach West told the Sentinel Wednesday that deputies and detectives continue to actively investigate and pursue leads on information related to Staley’s disappearance, which was reported to authorities Nov. 7.
Staley, who is from Utah, was last seen around 11:23 p.m. Nov. 6 in the company of an unknown group of people on Rio Del Mar State Beach, according to West. Her belongings were found on the beach and she has not been in contact with her family, which is uncharacteristic behavior that has raised the level of alarm.
“New information indicates she may be at risk, and foul play may be involved,” police said in a statement.
“However, the case is being treated as a missing person at risk due to the circumstances,” West wrote. Staley was reportedly traveling with a friend, West continued, and the friend has been cooperating with the investigation.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking residents and businesses with surveillance footage of the Rio Del Mar beach, Beach Drive, Treasure Island and Spreckels Drive areas from Nov. 5-7 to contact its deputies to review the footage.
Staley is described as being 5-foot-6, 120 pounds with blonde hair. She was last seen wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and leopard print leggings.
The Sheriff’s Office can be contacted at 831-471-1121.
