Details of Disappearance
Fullmer was last seen in the company of Thomas O'Connell. He said they had been drinking alcohol for much of the weekend and decided to take a drive to the Twin Pines area near Lake Siskiyou, west of Mount Shasta. They left at about 2:45 p.m. An argument took place over tracked mud in the pickup truck and Fullmer left the vehicle. O'Connell says she walked away through the forest towards South Fork Road near an old logging road in the Twin Pines Area. He was cleaning out his pickup and thought he heard a car door slam and then an engine fading away.


O'Connell reported Fullmer missing at 2:45 a.m., eight hours after she was last seen. Authorities initially believed she had gotten lost in the forest and they looked for her there, but inclement weather hampered search efforts. Now her disappearance is considered suspicious. Fullmer's mother suspects foul play was involved in her daughter's case. O'Connell is not considered a suspect in Fullmer's disappearance. Investigators do not believe she left of her own accord, since before her disappearance she had purchased and wrapped Christmas presents, and she has not accessed her bank accounts or used her credit cards since she disappeared.

In August 2003, a man walking his dog found human female bone fragments in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest near the North Shore Road. This is near where Fullmer was last seen. Fullmer is one of three women authorities think the bones may belong to. Investigators attempted to use DNA to identify the bones, but they were too small for testing. Her mother nonetheless believes the bones are Fullmer's remains. At the time of her disappearance, Fullmer was the single mother of five daughters ranging in age from seven to seventeen. The children have four different fathers between them. They now live with their grandmother, except for one child who lives with her father. Fullmer was unemployed in December 2002, but had previously worked in a pizza parlor in Mount Shasta. Her case remains unsolved.

As they drove home after a December shopping trip five years ago, Angela Fullmer looked over at her mother and said something that Rebecca Mendoza will never forget.

"She said, Mom, if anything ever happens to me, will you keep the kids together?' " Mendoza said. "I said, That's crazy. Nothing will ever happen to you.' "

But Mendoza, now 62, agreed nonetheless.

Fullmer vanished just days later. Today marks the fifth anniversary of the 34-year-old Mount Shasta woman's disappearance. She left six children behind.

Sheriff Jon Lopey said his office recently investigated a "promising lead" reported to his office, although he didn't elaborate on it.

Lopey said he'll put more resources on the case once other cold cases are resolved. He also referred to the case as a possible homicide, the first time anyone had done so, Orchard said.

While Fullmer's family holds little hope of seeing her alive again, they're thankful for the support from the community. Orchard just last month set up a Facebook page, "The Truth About Angie Fullmer," to share updates.

They also appreciate the renewed focus from law enforcement.

"It would be good to have answers," Orchard said through tears.

​Siskiyou County cold case re-opened
The initial search and investigation was fruitless.

It's a troubling case, one the major crimes unit feels can finally solve with a little bit more information.

"We're convinced there's people in Siskiyou County that know what happened to Angela. And we're going to press forward with this case and we're asking for assistance and support because any investigative leads and additional information could be essential in solving this case," Siskiyou County Sheriff, Jon Lopey, said.

What a sad case. Her family keeps a vigil on FB. I hope they get some answers this time.

Sunday marks 17 years since Mount Shasta’s Angie Fullmer accompanied a friend on a drive around Lake Siskiyou and disappeared without a trace.

“Even after all these years we continue to pray that we get answers,” said her sister, Pam Orchard, who now lives in Redding. “We will not give up hope.”

The case has been cold for years, although Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey said the case is open and a retired Yreka Police Department sergeant was hired as a part time detective last year to do work specifically related to the investigation.

“We are very determined to solve Angie’s disappearance and we are handling the case as a probable homicide,” said Lopey.

Angie was last seen by her once-boyfriend, Thomas O’Connell of Mount Shasta, near Lake Siskiyou.

According to past news reports, O’Connell told investigators that he and Angie had taken a drive to the Twin Pines area when they got into an argument over mud that was tracked into the truck and Angie stormed off toward South Fork Road. He said he heard a car door slam and the sound of a vehicle driving away, leading him to believe that Angie got a ride from someone out of the area.

O’Connell reported Angie missing about 12 hours later. Though searches were conducted, efforts were hampered by heavy snow, and no one has seen or heard from Angie since that day.


I saw an earlier article where it was said that O'Connell 'was not a suspect.' ...?....

He was her boyfriend, they had been drinking, had an argument, they were in a remote area, no one else around them and he was the last to see her, calling in a missing report 12 hours later....

How could he be cleared?
