Here's a map to where their car was found. I wonder how far away from their residence the car was located?

Her daughter is trying to spread the word on FB and is saying the car was found a block away from their home with the doors unlocked and keys gone.

I've been wondering if they worked together since they left together, but this article says they never reached their "destinations," so I presume they worked at separate spots. There's also an update about who reported them missing:

Sheriff's deputies were alerted to the Careccia's disappearance after Michael's son called authorities about 7:15 a.m. Monday, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The caller said the couple left for work about 5 a.m. Monday from their home near Maricopa but were never heard from.

So maybe the son works with his dad (or Tina), which is how he would alert police so quickly that he/she didn't show up? Or is that a typo by this article, and it's really supposed to be 7:15 p.m., as reported elsewhere?

There's very little info out there. Looking at their facebook pages it looks like they've been married a bit over a year. Since they were taking one car to work, I wonder if they work together. Also, I wonder if they had a long drive as they left around 5:00 a.m. Just thinking out loud here................

I think we have some confused/bad reporting. This article shows LE was contacted 7:15 PM, monday night.

It also appears reading through comments they were high school sweethearts whom reconnected. Sounds like a love story, hoping they are ok

Thank you. I edited my post to avoid causing confusion.

Also, I did invite Tina's daughter to join WS. I'm hoping she can get some help from WS on her next steps, and hopefully provide additional information that will help all of us brainstorm further.

TwinMama,
In all honesty, your post may be the correct one! :blushing: I guess we just have to wait until more details come out.

I wonder if the "search" mentioned in the news stories is an actual physical search of the area where the car was found.

LaborDayRN · Jun 23, 2015

The high temperature today in Maricopa is supposed to be 106 - 109, depending where you look.

Shared on my facebook, we have lots of family in Mesa, Scottsdale and Gilbert....

Here's a CBS Article which covers the same details we know at this point: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/search-on-for-missing-arizona-couple-after-car-found-abandoned/

I'm happy to see so much quick coverage on Mike and Tina's disappearance. I keep checking the news in hopes they are Found Safe. My stomach is in knots on this one.

LaborDayRN · Jun 23, 2015

On Tina's daughters FB page there is a post in the comments section by BP that says both phones were turned off and couldn't be traced. I know we can only post this as rumor, but
