The search on Saturday morning for a potentially-suicidal Scottsdale mom and her missing 9-year-old daughter has led authorities to Yavapai County, where they believe the pair is camped out.
Elisabeth Ann Sigal, 33, (pictured left) and her daughter Jasmine Ealy (right) disappeared from their Scottsdale home sometime Friday night.
Since then, Scottsdale police have been worried the pair is in danger because Sigal reportedly left a suicide note behind when they left.
Her husband found the note and called police about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, said police spokesman Sgt. Mark Clark.
At first, authorities were baffled at where the pair had gone, though cell phone records showed they initially headed north along Interstate 17.
But late this morning, Sigal apparently spoke to a friend of hers by phone, saying she had fled to Yavapai County with her daughter to get away from her husband, Clark said.
“We’re finding that there was a little more domestic unrest than we were first led to believe,” Clark said.
The woman told her friend she did not intend to hurt herself or Jasmine, Clark said.
As of the afternoon, it was unclear whether the mother ever truly left a suicide note behind. Police continued to search for the two to ensure their safety.
Glad to see there are still women with the courage and sense to leave these monsters! I hope she’s not charged with kidnapping and is given the help she needs to continue on with him!!
WITHOUT him, that is.
How naive of you to assume that the woman is in the right and to assume the man is a monster. Society has tainted you judement.
