- Female rancher disappeared after walking to her new job in Utah desert community
- Elizabeth Green, 21, was reported missing to the Juab County Sheriff’s Office in April
A female farmer has mysteriously disappeared after walking to her new job in an “extremely rural” desert community in Utah.
Elizabeth Green, 21, was reported missing by her family to the Juab County Sheriff’s Office on April 17.
She was last seen in Callao, walking to a ranch to start a new job.
“There are so many unknowns, unfortunately,” said her mother, Vanessa Simmons CUTV. “I’m kind of at the point where I think someone might have had her picked up.”

Authorities were told by people close to Elizabeth that she has mental health problems and has run away before.
The young woman went missing last month and a search and rescue team was dispatched to search the area in which she was spotted on April 18.
“I just don’t know who that is, if they actually picked her up, or if they didn’t come and then she started trying to walk across the desert,” Simmons added.
A search warrant was filed by the Juab County Sheriff’s Office to access Elizabeth’s devices and social media accounts.
“This part of our province is approximately three hours’ drive from all major cities and requires travel on dirty roads,” it says.
“SAR searched the area between her home and the ranch where she went to work.
‘They also searched in a grid pattern around the area. They couldn’t locate Elizabeth or anything like that to determine where she could have gone.”

The Juab County Sheriff’s Office investigated the farm where Elizabeth was forced to work before she disappeared.
Her family told investigators that she would always return home within a day and communicate.
Search teams have attempted to ping her cell phone but have yet to receive a response.
“Based on the information we have received, we are concerned that Elizabeth may be in danger of serious bodily harm or death,” the warrant said.
“It is unknown if Elizabeth is in danger and lost in the vast desert, or if someone she was communicating with came across her and is holding her against her will.”
