Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputies located a missing woman’s car Sunday with her dog alive and well inside. The search remains under way for 34-year-old Jaime Andrews, according to a Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
Andrews was reported missing from her home in the 2600 block of West Quail View Loop in Chino Valley on Saturday by her husband, Sherman Andrews, who said he had not seen her since Sept. 4, said Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn.

The husband expected Andrews to go to her father’s ranch in La Paz County but she never arrived. He is concerned for his wife’s safety because she has had some mental-health issues lately, according to D’Evelyn.
Andrews was last seen driving a green 2007 Honda sedan. The car was found in an area west of Wickenburg known as Bullard’s Wash by a rancher Sunday morning who reported it to deputies. In addition to the dog, deputies found Andrews’ purse, a water bottle and some clothing, D’Evelyn said.
The rancher told deputies that Andrews’ had come to his ranch home on Sept. 4 wearing a black evening dress and asked for directions to Almo Road. The ranch is located north of Arizona 71 and west of highway 93, D’Evelyn said.
Deputies found and tracked footprints near where Andrews’ car was found. The search was called off when it got dark Sunday night. Search and rescue teams resumed looking for Andrews Monday morning with the help of over 60 members, 4×4 vehicles, horses and helicopter units, D’Evelyn said.
Andrews is 5 feet 4-inches tall, weighs 175 pounds and has brown hair and hazel eyes. Authorities say the missing woman may have a cellphone with her but all efforts to track it have failed, D’Evelyns said.
There is no indication that Andrews has left the area, but authorities are asking anyone who has seen or come into contact with Andrews to call the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office at 928-771-3260.
