RICHMOND DALE, Ohio - It's hard enough waiting for any information about their loved one, but family of 20-year-old Shasta Himelrick tell 10TV that police have asked them not to conduct any grass-roots searching. "I just wish they could find her, that we'd know for sure what happened," Shasta's grandmother Shirley Himelrick told 10TV Sunday.The elder Himelrick says her granddaughter dropped by to visit the evening of Christmas Day, to escape noise and bustle at her home just a few doors away in Richmond Dale. "She got a text message, and she said 'I've got to go, Granny,' said 'I'll be back'. But she never came back," Shirley explained. Apart from a possible glimpse caught by a gas station surveillance camera early the morning of December 26, Shasta Himelrick hasn't been seen since.

Police eventually located Shasta Himelrick's vehicle at railroad tracks near the rural intersection of Higby and Three Locks Roads. The car's doors, it's reported, were open, and several of Shasta's belongings, including her cell phone and ATM card, were still inside."And there was a little bit of blood, I think they said," explained Shasta's grandmother, "on the seat and on the back of the headrest."

"Right now, we're getting nowhere," Lockhart said Monday. "Honestly, we are not interested in getting anyone in trouble. We don't care how we get information, but what we want is for someone to come forward and let us know where Shasta is. If you need to create a fake Facebook page and message our Bring Shasta Home page to get us the information, that's fine. We just want to know where she is."

Maternal grandmother, Janice Timmons, said her granddaughter is a loving and giving person who has overcome a drug problem after she was released from jail in March. Timmons said that Himelrick is looking forward to becoming a mother.

Court records show that Himelrick was sentenced in November 2013 to 179 days in jail and three years of probation for heroin possession and receiving stolen property, both fifth-degree felonies.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - The search for a Ross County pregnant woman who has not been seen since last Friday was suspended on Monday night due to darkness. Officials planned to resume the search on Tuesday with a specialized team from Licking County. Shasta Himelrick’s friends and family are hoping she turns up soon. Her relatives say that on Christmas Day, Himelrick announced she was expecting a baby. Several hours later, she disappeared. Himelrick’s image was last captured on surveillance cameras at a Chillicothe gas station on Main Street. That was around 3:15 a.m. on Friday.

CHILLICOTHE – Search-and-rescue volunteers from several area departments resumed the search this morning for 20-year-old Shasta Himelrick, utilizing dogs, horses, all-terrain vehicles and boats to widen the probe along the riverbanks and river near Higby Road. "We have expanded the perimeter of the search and have a crew coming from Licking County who are a mounted specialized search-and-rescue team," said Lt. Mike Preston of the Ross County Sheriff's Office.

Himelrick was last seen by her family Christmas night. Footage of Himelrick at the Speedway gas station on East Main Street around 3:15 a.m. Friday was discovered before her vehicle was located abandoned near the area of Higby and Three Locks Road about 7:15 a.m. the same day. The car was out of gas and had a dead battery, according to the sheriff's office.

The three search-and-rescue teams now involved are affiliated with the Ohio Search and Rescue Association and were given instructions by the sheriff's office as to how far to push the boundaries of the search. "We have various areas to search based on things the sheriff has shared with us," said Brian Maier, chief operations officer with Search and Rescue Ohio. "We also have expanded the search based on statistics we have on missing persons." Maier said Himelrick's family is still conducting a non-professional search with a team it has hired that is not affiliated with law enforcement. Sheriff George Lavender said the initial Monday search covered one mile of riverbank in each direction.

On Monday, searchers covered a 2-mile section of the riverbank near where Himelrick's car was found. Sheriff Lavender said more of the area would be checked, and the search of the river would continue.
