The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office has released a video of a missing Georgia woman in Santa Cruz County, in the hopes it will help in finding her. She was last seen in late April.

Tiffany Slaton, 27, of Jeffersonville, Georgia, went camping by herself in the Shaver Lake/Huntington Lake area near Fresno on April 20, according to a sheriff’s office media release. She kept in contact with her family throughout the trip, but after they did not hear from her after April 20, they filed a missing persons report the following week.

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue team searched for five consecutive days and nights, spanning almost 600 square miles, but did not find anything related to Slaton. The most recent confirmed sighting of her was on April 24, at a store in the Shaver Lake area.
