Whisper Owen, a 36‑year‑old mother from Elk Grove, California, and her 8‑month‑old daughter, Sandra McCarty, vanished on July 15, 2025, after leaving a doctor’s appointment in Fresno.
Family members say the mother had planned only one stop, to get a can of formula because she was on her last bottle. Owen and Sandra departed Fresno at about 5 p.m., bound for Elk Grove in Sacramento County, about 200 miles north of Fresno, but never arrived.
