Major search for mum and eight-month-old daughter who vanished on way to buy baby milk
Whisper Owen, 36, and her eight-month-old daughter Sandra McCarty, vanished on their way home from Fresno, in California, on July 15, after visiting family and having a doctor appointment A desperate search is underway for a mum and her eight-month-old daughter who disappeared nearly two weeks ago after visiting family and stopping off to buy baby formula. Whisper Owen, 36, and her baby daughter Sandra McCarty, vanished on their way home from Fresno, California, on July 15. The car, a silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer, belonging to the mum-of-four was last spotted in Atwater, north of Fresno at 8pm, said the office of the Fresno County Sheriff. Her partner reported her missing and other family members found out about the disappearance a few days later. 'The not knowing, it's brought me to a point where I'm — it's a cross between anger and numb,' reportedly said grandmother Vickie Torres. 'I'm terrified. I'm just terrified.' 'The only thing she had to do was stop and get a can of formula because she was on her last bottle.' Ms Owen had visited family and had a doctor's appointment for a routine check-up on the baby that day before leaving Fresno at 5pm on July 15. There have been no sightings or information about the pair since that day and Fresno Police Department, believes they are not in the Fresno area and they have also reportedly said that there is nothing to suggest foul play. Ms Owen was supposed to be driving back home to Elk Grove in Sacramento County 'where family were expecting them', said the sheriff's office. After visiting the doctor on July 15 she had gone to the house of her brother Richard Owen who said he last saw her at around 2.45pm. From there Whisper went to her mother's house for lunch before leaving at 5pm. It is reported that Ms Owen's partner at first thought that she had stayed behind to help her mother who had just moved into a new house. And communication with Whisper was also made more difficult as she has not had a phone for the past year. Whisper suffers from high blood pressure and had to be hospitalised during her pregnancy. 'My fear is that maybe there was a medical emergency behind the wheel, and maybe she had veered off the road,' her brother told CNN. 'I can't help but to feel like something horrible has happened The last time I talked I talked to my sister, she was talking about how good life was. She was just happy. There was no reason for her to want to disappear or to leave.' Whisper has a 17-year-old from a previous relationship as well as an eight- and three-year-old with her partner. The children are 'all devastated wanting to know if and when they will see their mother again,' her brother said. While the baby's grandmother Ms Torres continued: 'She's just a very loving person. Everybody loves Whisper. We, as a family, know she didn't leave on her own. Everything is good in her life right now. There's no reason for her to have taken off.'
