“The vehicle that they’re associated with has popped up around the Alamo, Danville and Walnut Creek area,” said Lt. Jausiah Jacobsen. Unfortunately, the police had no idea who was driving the car and they were confused as to why it was there as she has no family in that area.

“We don’t think there’s no foul play. We don’t believe in foul play has occurred. We just believe she got dis[oriented] maybe,” her sister said. “Praying family so she’s going to be fine. She’s going to come home. She’s going to be fine.”

According to her family, Young took the children in after the death of their parents in a car crash. Her family considers her to be a strong, independent caretaker. “She’s fiery,” her sister said. “We call her ‘Mom.’ She’s our mom. She raised us.”
