A Utah woman who had been missing since Nov. 6 after last being seen at Rio Del Mar State Beach was found safe, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office said on Sunday.
Danielle Staley, 35, was last spotted at the beach around 11:23 p.m on Nov. 6 with an unknown group of people. She was then reported missing on Nov. 7.
The sheriff's office said Staley's belongings were found on the beach and that she has not been in communication with her family, which is uncharacteristic.
Investigators said it has raised additional concerns, and they are not ruling out foul play. However, the investigation was being treated as an at-risk missing person.
Staley was last seen wearing a dark-hooded sweatshirt and leopard print leggings. She is blonde, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds.
The sheriff's office said Staley was traveling with someone, and that person has been cooperating with investigators.
She was found uninjured, and the sheriff's office said additional details were not available.
