California Coast Search Suspended for Missing Bay Area Hiker

Sunshine Borjas, a 47-year-old woman from Santa Rosa, California, has been missing since she went hiking alone at Bodega Head, a popular coastal trail, nearly a week ago. Despite extensive search efforts involving the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Coast Guard, drones, search and rescue dogs, and ground teams, no trace of her has been found, leading authorities to suspend the search while awaiting new leads. Borjas was last seen wearing a gray shirt, gray leggings, and black sneakers, and her car was found parked at the trailhead. The investigation has been turned over to the Santa Rosa Police Department, which is urging anyone with information or who may have seen Borjas to contact them and check local security cameras. Additionally, a separate case involves Sydni Sherrill, a 32-year-old Modesto woman reported missing after traveling unexpectedly to Merced, with authorities also seeking public assistance. These cases highlight ongoing concerns about missing persons in California and the challenges faced by search and rescue operations.
