SEARCH FOR NITA MAYO AND PUBLIC DEDICATION SET FOR AUGUST 5TH AND 6TH.
On the weekend of August 5th and 6th (Saturday and Sunday), the Mayo Family is conducting a search in the Sierra Mountains for our missing Mother, Nita Mayo. We are appealing to people with horses, atv/motorcycles, jeeps, dog teams (to search flat ground areas only) and as many people as possible for ground searching and posting of flyers. Anyone interested in participating in this search can show up at the Strawberry Store, in Strawberry, California at 8:30am the morning of August 5th/6th. We look forward to seeing as many people as possible at the search and the Dedication and as always, we appreciate everyone’s continued support! Any questions, please call Tracy Mayo at 701-730-4949.
DEDICATION CEREMONY FOR NITA MAYO AUGUST 6TH, 1:00PM
Unfortunately, it has been almost a year since our Mother, Nita Mayo, went missing. On Sunday, August 6th, the Mayo Family, Nita’s friends, and the Carole Sund/Carrington Foundation, will be holding a "Dedication" ceremony to mark the one year date of her disappearance and to also remind everyone that we are still "dedicated" to continuing our search and that we will not give up until we find her and bring her home. The Dedication ceremony will be held at 1:00pm on Sunday, August 6th, at the Strawberry Store in Strawberry, CA on Hwy 108. The Mayo family would love to share this time of “dedication” with all friends and supporters who have been there with us through this difficult past year. We feel very blessed to have met so many wonderful people.
NITA MAYO’S DISAPPEARANCE:
Nita Mayo left her home in Hawthorne, Nev., the morning of Aug. 8. The 5 foot tall 140 pound 64-year-old nurse planned to take a day trip over the steep and winding Sonora Pass in California, possibly to go shopping in small villages along the highway. Nita Mayo never made it home. Nita’s car was found about 2˝ hours from her home at the Donnell Vista Overlook which is on Hwy 108 about 12 miles east of Strawberry, CA. The keys were locked inside, but she could have opened the door with a keypad. Nita's purse, wallet and cell phone also were in the car. She had her camera and was wearing prescription sunglasses.
Members of the general public who may have been in the local area of Strawberry California on August 8th 2005 or have possible information on the case are urged to call Deputy Ed Warnock, of the Tuolumne County Investigations group at (209)533-5815
