Case Information

**Case Details:**

Karlie Gusé went missing from White Mountain Estates in Chalfant, California, in the early morning hours of October 13, 2018. She was last seen walking east of Highway 6 by the White Mountain Estates. Karlie was reported to be disoriented at the time of her disappearance and did not have any personal belongings or her cell phone with her. She was wearing a white shirt and grey sweatpants.

Karlie's disappearance occurred after a night of partying with friends, during which she smoked marijuana. She called her stepmother in a panic, saying she needed to be picked up from the party. Melissa Gusé picked Karlie up from the party, and later stated that she seemed disoriented and exhibited paranoid behavior. Once home, it took hours to get Karlie calmed down enough to sleep. When Melissa awoke the next morning, October 13, 2018, Karlie was asleep in bed, but when she checked on her a second time around 7AM, Karlie was nowhere to be found. 

Reports suggest that Karlie may have been seen in Tonopah, Nevada, about 100 miles away from her home, in March 2021, raising suspicions that she might have been transported there from alongside Highway 6. Despite extensive search efforts and investigations by the Mono County Sheriff's Office and the FBI, Karlie's whereabouts remain unknown.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing someone matching Karlie's description in the vicinity of Highway 6 on the morning of her disappearance. However, tracking dogs lost her scent in the area.

**Investigation and Ongoing Efforts:**

The FBI, alongside local law enforcement agencies, encourages the public to come forward with any credible information that could aid in locating Karlie.

Despite speculations and various leads, including a promising tip from a recovering drug user who claimed to have seen Karlie at a party in 2021, her family remains hopeful for her safe return. Karlie's parents, Zac and Melissa Gusé, continue to advocate for their daughter's case and are determined to find answers.

The disappearance of Karlie Gusé remains a baffling mystery, with her family, law enforcement, and the community committed to finding closure and bringing her home safely. Any credible leads or information regarding Karlie's whereabouts are urged to be reported to the authorities.
