Press Release
Dated: July 4, 2012
As of today, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office has assumed primary investigative responsibility for the missing person case involving 19 year-old Linnea Lomax, who was reported missing in Sacramento County on June 26th. This agreement was made by their office and our Missing Persons Bureau, based primarily on the fact that Miss Lomax is a Placerville / El Dorado County resident. If we were working a confirmed abduction/kidnapping, the circumstances would be different and we would keep the case as an active criminal investigation. However, the circumstances of this case suggest that Linnea Lomax is, by all accounts, voluntary “missing” and choosing to stay away from friends and family.
We will assist the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office on an as-needed basis, and we will continue to follow-up on any reported sightings of Miss Lomax with a response by patrol personnel. At this point, however, it is our department’s position that we have done the requisite due diligence on this case based on the circumstances present, and have forwarded all of the information that we have to EDSO.

Dad feels anguish, disbelief with daughter, 19, missing over a week
One afternoon this week, a haggard-looking Craig Lomax sat in an uncomfortably chilly corner of a Sacramento-area fire station and wondered aloud: How did it come to this?
It was 4 p.m., and his 19-year-old daughter, Linnea, had been missing for seven days, after she walked away from a mental health facility and went into hiding. And it was hell.

UC Davis student missing since June
Forty days, four hours, 32 minutes ago. According to the website helpfindlinnea.org, this is the length of time since Linnea Lomax walked out of an outpatient clinic in Sacramento without her wallet, cellphone or medication.

Lomax, a UC Davis first-year from Placerville, has been missing since June 26. A human development major with a GPA exceeding 3.8, she is described as a cheerful, caring girl with “curly blond hair crown[ing] her slender 5’2” frame” and twinkling blue eyes.

Her disappearance follows in the wake of a series of episodes related to her mental state in dealing with the rigors that come with life after high school. This culminated with a nervous breakdown during Spring Quarter finals.

Subsequently, Lomax was encouraged to seek treatment for the illnesses that had begun to plague her.

Searchers find notebook of missing UC Davis student
A notebook and folder belonging to 19-year-old missing UC Davis student Linnea Lomax was found in the brush near a bike trail along the American River Sunday afternoon.

Searchers from the KlaasKids Foundation and Bay Area Missing were in Sacramento for the weekend to help find the teenager.

"It did at least confirm that our best guesses were right and that she would have accessed that trail system, said Brass Dennis of the KlassKids Foundation. "That does dove tail into a lot of the sightings that we've had. So, now it's just a matter of going out and eliminating a lot of that area."
