Julie Elizabeth Goforth was last seen about 10:20 a.m. July 10 at the dry lake bed west of Adelanto, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
She was riding dirt bikes with a friend when she decided to head back their vehicle to take a break, officials said.
“When Julie’s friend went back to the vehicle, Julie was not there,” the sheriff’s department said in an written statement. “An extensive area check has been conducted with Sheriff’s Search and Rescue and Aviation’s assistance, but Julie has not been located.”
The missing woman’s Kawasaki KLX300R dirt bike also remained missing.
“Julie is at risk due to the severe heat and the possibility she has no water,” the statement added.
