Mom and 8-Month-Old Daughter Disappear After Leaving Doctor's Appointment. They've Been Missing for Over a Week

Whisper Owen and her 8-month-old daughter Sandra McCarty were last seen driving in a silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer A mother and her 8-month-old daughter have been missing for over a week. On Thursday, July 24, Fresno County Sheriff's Office confirmed in a press release that they were still looking for Whisper Owen, 36, and her daughter, 8-month-old Sandra McCarty, after they were last seen driving in a silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer on Tuesday, July 15. At the time, the mother and daughter had left a doctor's appointment, according to Fox affiliate KMPH and ABC affiliate KFSN. They were then 'supposed to be heading home to Elk Grove (Sacramento County) where family members were expecting them,' authorities said in a statement. 'They were traveling in a silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer with a CA license plate of 9LKH008. The SUV has damage to its driver's side headlight,' officials said, noting that the vehicle left Fresno on July 15 at around 5 p.m. local time. Police added that the vehicle was last captured on a traffic camera at around 8 p.m. local time in Atwater, near Shaffer and Bellevue. PEOPLE has contacted Fresno County Sheriff's Office for further to authorities, Owen is 5'6 and weighs 145 lbs. She also has blue eyes and brown hair. Sandra is described as 1'10, 17 lbs. with green eyes and brown hair. 'No information has been discovered to explain their disappearance,' authorities stated. Tiffaney Machado, a close friend of Owen's, told KMPH, "We haven't heard anything about it since, and we haven't heard from her" since Owen and her daughter disappeared. Machado added, "Her phone just goes straight to voicemail. We're really concerned about the baby. She's only eight months old." Owen's partner Robert McCarty and her two other children were reportedly waiting for her at home when she disappeared, according to the outlet. Because Owen often visited her family in Fresno and would sometimes spend multiple days there, Robert said they did not initially worry, KMPH reported. But by Saturday, July 19 — four days after the mother and daughter were last seen — the family filed a missing persons report. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Both Robert and Machado have visited the Atwater Police Department to seek surveillance footage, and have also been putting up posters in the area, according to KMPH. The outlet reported that friends of Owen said she is a "loving, attentive mother," and that it's "completely out of character" for her to suddenly go missing. People are advised to contact the police if they see any sighting of Owen and her baby. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

School to remember murdered brother and sister 'for years to come'

The schoolmates and teachers of two murdered teenagers will feel "the ripple effects of the tragic events for years to come," their school principal has said. James and Sara Rutledge were fatally shot alongside their mother, Vanessa Whyte, in a suspected triple murder and attempted suicide in Maguiresbridge, County Fermanagh, on Wednesday. Sara, who was 13, and her 14-year-old brother James were both pupils at Enniskillen Royal Grammar School. "As a school we are stunned and shocked at the loss of two wonderful young people," said its principal, Elizabeth Armstrong. "They were just full of life, they were both such lively and intelligent, funny young people." She added: "We'll remember their academic achievements and their love of sport. "Sara loved netball and Gaelic and James loved cricket. "So it's just a very difficult time and very difficult for everyone to come to terms with." Victims' friends came in to support each other A man - who is a member of the same household - is being treated for serious gunshot injuries at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. A book of condolences opened on Friday morning at Maguiresbridge Primary School, where James and Sara previously attended. A vigil was held in the primary school grounds on Friday evening. Enniskillen Royal Grammar also opened its doors on Friday for staff and pupils to meet and write in a book of memories about James and Sara. Ms Armstrong said many of the children's close friends came in to support each other. "They just wanted to remember what Sara and James meant to them and it was lovely to hear those memories," she said. "Our message to our pupils and families is that we're here to help, we're here to listen and we're here to say there still is hope in coming together." The principal added: "We as a school will just remember Sara and James' warmth and their personalities that shone through. "So it's about remembering their joy even in the midst of such sadness and the gift that those young people gave us as a school community." People 'found strength' at school vigil Analysis by BBC News NI South West reporter Elaine Mitchell In what was once their primary school, hundreds of people signed the book of condolences in memory of former pupils James and Sara and their mum Vanessa. Half a mile away, football jerseys, flowers and a cuddly toy have been left in tribute to them on the Drummeer Road, close to their family home. Grief hangs over this quiet village like a shadow. But people in the community do not want this sadness to overcome them. At the vigil held in the grounds of Maguiresbridge Primary School on Friday night, local people found strength in each other, and they will continue to do so. The children's 45-year-old mother was originally from Barefield, County Clare, in the Republic of Ireland. At the time of her death, Ms Whyte was employed by Stormont's Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera). Agriculture Minister Andrew Muir said she was a "highly respected vet and a work colleague". Ms Whyte had previously worked at Lakeland Vets in Derrygonnelly, County Fermanagh, where staff remembered her as a "devoted mum" and a "lovely person". Enniskillen Royal Grammar School is setting up a support facility for pupils, parents and staff at its Cooper Crescent site. In a statement on Thursday, the Western Health Trust said it is working closely with the Education Authority and local community groups to support any children that may be affected by the incident. A flute band, Defenders of the Rock has cancelled its annual band parade in nearby Lisbellaw on Saturday, in light of the incident. Vigil held for murdered mother and two children Childminder said she loved murdered brother and sister 'like they were her own' Shooting victim was 'devoted mum to Sara and James' Mum and children killed in shooting 'valued and much loved' Mother and two children killed in Fermanagh shooting

After GloRilla's arrest on drug charges, is Glo Bash concert event in Memphis still on?

Memphis rapper GloRilla was arrested on felony drug charges in Georgia this week, after police responding to a burglary at her home near Atlanta discovered what officers described as "a significant amount of marijuana." The incident will not affect GloRilla's July 25 homecoming "Glo Bash" concert at FedExForum, which remains on schedule, according to an arena spokesperson. As initially reported by WSB-TV in Atlanta and by TMZ, the latest legal difficulty for the Memphis-born rapper — whose birth name, Gloria Hallelujah Woods, is as captivating as her stage moniker — began about 1:30 a.m. July 19 when officers responded to a call at GloRilla's home. According to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, three suspects were burglarizing the house when the 25-year-old rapper was not present. An as yet unidentified individual inside the residence fired upon the burglers, who fled the scene. When deputies arrived at the scene, they smelled marijuana, according to the sheriff's office, and discovered quantities of the drug in a search of the residence. Later on July 19, GloRilla performed at the WNBA All-Star game in Indianapolis. She turned herself over to authorities on July 22 and was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a "schedule one" controlled substance — both felonies in Georgia. She was released on a $22,260 bond shortly afterward. 'The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,' Sheriff Ron Freeman told WSB-TV in Atlanta. 'At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.' But GloRilla's attorneys objected to the arrest calling GloRilla "a victim, not a suspect," in a statement issued July 24. "Ms. Woods was out of town when her residence became a target for a group of home invaders who most likely knew she wasn't there," wrote the performer's attorneys, Marissa Goldberg and Drew Findling. "What they didn't know was that she had family staying with her that were traumatized by the violent entrance of this group. "This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable,' they said. The incident occurred about 15 months after GloRilla's previous arrest. In April 2024, she was arrested on DUI and other traffic and alcohol charges in Suwanee, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, after an officer witnessed her make an illegal U-turn. Also in this case, the smell of marijuana led to further investigation and further charges, according to officers on the scene.
