Mitch GinsbergGUEST

Mitch GinsbergGUEST
I mean, that's the thing with the Metro Phoenix area.
Mitch GinsbergGUEST
There's no shortage of land.
Dustin HendricksonGUEST

On Friday, October 17, 2003, the couple would come to Paula's home and borrow her truck.
Steven PachecoHOST
At that time, they explained that they would drive approximately 70 miles north along Interstate 17 through Black Canyon City into the area of Bumblebee, a small ghost town located in the Yavapai County's Bradshaw Mountains, a popular site for campers and RVs throughout the fall and winter.
Steven PachecoHOST
They did not give a specific area, noting only that it was around Bumblebee, and although it can be a very secluded spot at that time of year, there would normally be hundreds of campers scattered across a several mile stretch.
Steven PachecoHOST
The couple planned to return the next morning, as Brandon was scheduled to work the afternoon of Saturday the 18th.
Steven PachecoHOST
By that evening, search parties were already being organized while the couple had been reported missing to the Scottsdale and Mesa Police Departments as well as the deputies of the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

Upon taking the missing persons report, the Mesa Police issued a statewide alert to be on the lookout for Brandon, Lisa, and Paula's white Ford F-150.
Steven PachecoHOST
That Saturday night saw several people traveling up Interstate 17 and into the canyons and curves of the Bradshaw Mountains in search of the couple.

Among the initial searchers were Brandon's father, one of Lisa's brothers, and a group of several friends.
