On June 14th 2020, Erika Llyod set off on a pandemic road trip to Joshua Tree National Park, where she planned to camp. After she failed to check in with family for several days, she was declared missing on June 17th. Adding to the mystery, her vandalized car was found a day earlier by law enforcement on a highway near the park. Over the next several months, friends, family, and law enforcement continued searching for Erika with no luck. Strangely, during this search a shocking discovery was made relating to another missing persons case in the area. What happened to Erika and her car? Are the two cases related to each other? Join us this week as we try to piece together what happened to Erika Lloyd.
As this is an ongoing case - if we got anything wrong or learn of new information we'll be sure to update everyone in a future episode.
The family of Erika urge anyone with information on this case or her whereabouts to call the We Tip Line at 1-800-782-7463. You can also stay up to date on the search efforts by visiting the Bring Erika Home Facebook Page.
