Search Continues for Missing Oceanside Nurse After Car Found at Palomar Mountain

Police say there is no evidence of foul play and are asking the public for tips and any video from July 6 between 2 and 6 p.m.

Overview

  • Angelica Brophy, a 44-year-old ER nurse and mother of two, was last seen on July 6 after dropping her daughter at camp and was captured on casino surveillance that afternoon.
  • Investigators say Brophy’s vehicle entered Palomar Mountain State Park around 4:20 p.m. on July 6 and her car was found in the park’s lot on July 9 with no sign of her.
  • Multi-agency search-and-rescue teams have combed roughly 1,800 acres of rugged terrain using drones, K-9s, horses and dive teams with searches of Doane Pond producing no evidence of her whereabouts.
  • Oceanside police say they have no evidence of foul play, that a phone ping on July 8 returned no location because the phone was off or dead, and they are treating the case as an open investigation.
  • Family members and dozens of volunteers have held searches and a vigil while authorities urge anyone with information or video from July 6 between 2 and 6 p.m. to contact Oceanside Police so investigators can follow new leads.
