Another family milestone has passed along with another week without any word from Ahwahnee resident and grandmother of nine, Wendy Lee Pullins.
**************************
There has been no reported sighting of the bright red Jeep, according to authorities. And now Wendy’s missed her sister Holly Watson’s birthday, something family said she would never do.
Nor would she ever miss the memorial celebration of life for Holly’s son Dillon Crossman that took place on June 25 in Oakhurst. Crossman died in a motorcycle crash in Mariposa in April.
Those milestones were met without Wendy, who is the mother of twin sons and one daughter.
Daughter Cassie flew out from Boise, Idaho, for her cousin Dillon’s memorial at the Oakhurst Community Center, where nearly 200 people were in attendance. Holly said the grieving young woman watched the door, just hoping her mom would walk through.
“It was heartbreaking,” Holly said. “It’s really hard to just be wondering each day.”
Holly described Wendy as being “sweet and wonderful,” someone who would help anybody that would need help. “She is always there for friends and anyone.”
Having lost her son and in a desperate search for her sister, Holly Watson is being supported by the local nonprofit organization, Helping One Woman (HOW). A dinner will be held to help the family on July 20 at The Hitchin’ Post in Ahwahnee.
Meanwhile, the Madera County Sheriff’s Office is the primary agency in the investigation into Pullins’ disappearance, as they and detectives with the Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office continue to follow leads in the search for the missing woman.
On June 27, the Madera County Sheriff’s Office responded to a request from the Gazette for an update on the search for Wendy Pullins.
“The Madera County Sheriff’s Office continues its collaborative efforts with the Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office to locate missing person Wendy Lee Pullins,” a spokesperson for the office said, repeating Pullins’ previously published description and make of vehicle.
“Detectives are following leads and reviewing data, including cell phone records, to identify Ms. Pullins’ whereabouts.”
No further information was made public by MCSO. It was still unknown what specific methods were being employed in the search for Pullins, including whether canines, drones, search and rescue (SAR) personnel, OHV, helicopter and other resources were used.
Also unknown is any status on information which may have been relayed from the woman’s cell phone after she made her last call to inform her family of the plans she had concerning the vehicle.
