Latest update on Kat, as of 2 p.m. today Saturday the search was officially called off but the investigation will continue. After following up on a
couple leads and searching two different areas and trying to retrace her footsteps to and from the stream, and searching multiple farms abandoned
houses, shacks, water tanks, agriculture buildings, above ground tanks, abandoned cars and buses, sad to report we still have not found her. The plane
will go up several more times this week in the area and keep looking. If anybody has any information about Kat or Tootsie's whereabouts or anything
that would be helpful to bring this situation to a close please contact the numbers in the photo. We all leave with heavy hearts, after over 186 hours
on the ground a hundred volunteers, and more than 10 hours of aerial time by aircraft and drones. Thank you to all the dedicated men and women from
the State Police, Army, Marines, civil protection,rescue squads from Tijuana, Esenada, Mexicali and San Felipe and any others involved in the
search-and-rescue all the command and control personnel,all the folks who fed us and brought gas,water and supplies. All the people who helped behind
the scenes, the folks who loaned there GPS's and radios, everybody who paid for gas for the rescue squads even after their bosses called it off and
they still desperately wanted to find Kat and Tootsie! We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!
Remember she was wearing white K-Swiss tennis shoes a white tank top it said El Dorado Ranch on it with tan beige color shorts with light camouflage
print through them and she has bright red hair. Tootsie is a German Shepherd tan in color so she blends well with the sand but she had a pink collar
on with a tag

I haven't written because I have not received any updates. The last information I received is Saturday morning a search and some PGJ&E (Police
Investigators) personnel were headed out to one spot where a shallow grave was found a few days before. Easter was hard. I am heading to the police
station some time today to give them some more information. I have filled out a form on www.texasequusearch.org giving them all the information I can. Hopefully they will receive permission from the local police to assist in a search,
they are non-profit and travel world wide, if allowed. I miss my wife more than one can imagine. I miss Tootsie too. I want to thank each and every
individual, group, agency, family and friends who have been supportive in helping find Kat and Tootsie. God Bless You All

I don't have any updates on Kat or Tootsie but just wanted to post the latest information I have. At 7:30 pm tonight, the two chief investigators from
PGJ&E came by. Before I post any more in this update I want to once again to post that I believe the local authorities are doing everything
possible to find out what happened. They questioned me about why I changed the password on my Apple account this afternoon. I told them that while
having lunch at 1:30 pm, I received a notice from Apple computer that someone had attempted to look at my iCloud account. I told them I changed the
password just after that. They informed me that it was them. I told them that I was relieved that they were looking and that anything they want to do
along those lines is fine with me. I gave them the changed password and they confirmed that they are still on the case. I totally broke down and told
them that I was grateful for that they are still out there. I informed them that even though I don't know most of the people making accusations that I
am a 'murderer' or 'involved in this case with others', that I will give them everything they need. They once again informed me that they do not
believe I had anything to do with Kat or Tootsie's disappearance. I do believe they understand that and that they are still on top of the
investigation. I am sorry to hear that most of the town believes I murdered the love of my life. Unfortunately these people don't have a clue about
our relationship over the last 4 years and so be it, they have to live with themselves. Thank you to all the people that have supported me. To those
that want to make up these rumors, well, I am not going to go in that hole and explain anything to you. God bless Kat and Tootsie, I love you more
than you will ever know.

We want to keep Kat’s memory alive in our hearts while we help each other start the healing process of life without her. It’s not a time to say
good bye, but a time to say “until we meet again”.
Please bring something to add to the scrapbook “The Kats Meow”. Photos, written stories, articles, anything you would like to add. (foto-graphics,
the business next door to copy centro can print pictures from your phone or camera while you wait).
Thursday will mark three weeks...three very long, very difficult weeks. We all need to come together. See you Thursday.

My friend's wife wandered off in the middle of the night up in eastern Washington. He was grilled by the cops because they thought he murdered her.
Finally, they found her a day later. Disoriented, cuts and bruises, mild hypothermia. Apparently the herbal meds she was taking caused her to wander
off in a trance like state. She ended up in the psychiatric hospital for a few weeks after that. My friend was treated like crap by the cops and
he had nothing to do with his wife's disappearance. I guess it's just part of the process.

i think homicide 101 tells investigators to look at the husband first. path of least resistance and all that. must be brutal for grieving family
members.

There was a past lost person with nearly the exact same situation. He decided not to go all the way to the falls and headed back to the parking area.
Except that he missed the trail that goes from the arroyo to the road. As I recall, he walked all the way to the dry lake to be found. I am a bit
fuzzy on the details, but Kat's situation sounds so similar. |
That is correct David. I was on that desert run and this individual walked out to the road in the dry lake, was picked up by the military and told
them he was looking for the Diablo Falls Parking Area. We did a head count before leaving and realized we were one head short. Decided to return to
San Felipe and get search and rescue missing. On the way out, we ran into the military hummer and the missing individual was in the vehicle. All
ended well.

Thanks Paul. When Kat spent the night in the desert back in 2015, we had an argument and she left in her Barney Dune Buggy. As shown in the youtube
video she had matches and built a fire and spent the night. She is directionally challenged and turned north, into the desert and not on a trail.
This was off the road from El Dorado Ranch to Morella Junction. She got the Barney high sided and spent the night. Next morning she walked, what she
said was less than a couple hundred yards, back to the main road and stopped a passing vehicle who got he unstuck and she returned here to the house.

Thank you everyone for your post here on Bajanomads. Special thanks to PaulW, BajaRob, DavidK and DesertRat for relaying on information.
I haven't been on this site due to all that has been going on here with the search for my wife Kat and our dog Tootsie. We have been using Facebook,
here in San Felipe, for sharing information.
The latest is the local investigators, PGJ&E still have an open case. As always, I was the number one suspect at the beginning. I have
volunteered to take a polygraph test, more than once, in order to keep the investigation moving forward. The PGJ&E have told me that I am not a
suspect at this time. This was after I provided:
1. Video from our back door camera video showing our state of mind before, and the day of the disappearance.
2. The raw picture data showing Kat on the trail, standing next to that big cactus, at 11:47 am, the day she disappeared. (Yes, people said she was
never up there and all 8 of us were in on her disappearance.
3. PGJ&E searched and dusted our car the night after she disappeared when I returned home.
4. I was not alone in the parking lot, 1/2 mile from where she stopped with the dog to play in the water. Yes, some people posted that they thought
she came back and I had something to do with her disappearance.
Since Kat was a smoker and didn't take her cigarettes with her on the walk to where the trail meets the water, (she bummed a cigarette from one of the
7 people with her headed to the falls themselves) I believe after getting to the water and letting the dog play in the water, she wanted a cigarette
and started back to the parking area. Since she didn't walk back to where Dave and I were sitting in the parking lot, I believe she took one of the
other trails east and downhill to the dry lake road. I also believe she was picked up by someone, since she spoke excellent Spanish, and taken away.
This belief comes after the many days of searching that went on and not one clue of any kind was found. The first road out of the trailhead would be
about a mile, where the corral command post was. The next road would be about 4 miles from the trailhead.
Some believe she walked more north as the arroyo with water makes a turn north for a little while before turning east. This is the area where the
military found a couple of pot farms but nobody around. This was on Saturday and they burned them when they found them. I haven't been in that area
north of the trailhead but have been told the searchers came across three pot growing areas, one old that had been burned and two new that they burned
that day. The military was quick to respond to the search, the next day after Kat and Tootsie went missing because they are out there day after day
searching for pot farms among other things. Cesar was contacted Thursday evening, the evening of the day she disappeared because David's wife Nicole,
contacted him. He contacted the military and they radioed the group in the area.
We did have a get together last night at the Brewery in San Felipe and talked about the facts in this disappearance and we did do a couple of Facebook
live videos.
Lastly, I have contacted the Texas Quu Search Organization and asked for their help. They said they would come and search but have to wait until the
local authorities authorize it.
Thank you all for your help and prayers and I do hope I get Kat, the love of my life, and our dog Tootsie back.

Here is the latest. Five vehicles headed out today to put up flyers about Kat and Tootsie missing. Got to within 5 miles of the Diablo Falls Parking
and were stopped by the local ranchers. We were told we couldn't go up there but not told why. We did get some posters up but didn't get to do the
last 5 miles. Came home and posted on Facebook. Then came the answer the ranchers wouldn't tell me. Discovery Channel has rented the area for three
weeks to do an episode of 'Named and Afraid'. Personally, it would be great if they did a special 'Woman and Dog Missing' or something like that.
And so it goes.

They better be afraid. Bad juju in that area.

From Warren, the husband on March 8, and it has been one month since Kat has gone missing. I'll leave my opinion out this time.
______________
The investigation of what happened to Kat and Tootsie continues. Here is the latest: Tuesday, May 7th, 2019: Three pickups and one sedan, from
PGJ&E, came to the house today around 11:30 am. One pickup was a K9 unit with a cadaver dog in a cage. There were approximately 12 Officers, two
were K9 handlers, three were women and the rest were men. They told me this was part of the ongoing investigation and asked me if it was ok if they
took pictures and then ran the dog and I said of course it was ok with me. They ran crime scene tape around the property then took many pictures both
inside and outside the house. Two of the officers walked around the house sticking probes in the sand. Next they brought the dog out and the dog ran
all over the property checking every square foot. I signed a report and they left. This whole ordeal took about an hour and a half. They said they
were going to head out to Diablo Falls later in the week. I told them I was glad they did this, as it is now behind me, and that I was happy to hear
they would head out to the Diablo Falls area.
