After having been missing for nearly a month, a Georgia woman who was spotted in Santa Cruz in late April has been found.
Tiffany Slaton, 27, of Jefferson, Georgia, was found alive and safe near Lake Edison in Fresno County on Wednesday. The owner of Vermilion Valley Resort was checking on his property near the lake when he found Slaton inside one of his cabins, according to a Fresno County Sheriff’s Office release. He knew of the search for her, and immediately contacted the sheriff’s office. Deputies arrived and confirmed her identity.
Slaton was dehydrated, but was otherwise in good condition. She was transported to an area hospital for further evaluation. Investigators informed Slaton’s family that she had been found safe and alive.
Slaton’s family reported her missing on April 29 after not hearing from her for nine days. Prior to Wednesday, she was most recently seen at a store in the Shaver Lake area.
Detectives are going to meet with Slaton to gather more information about what happened during the time she was missing and the timeline of events.
