Details of Disappearance
Morris was last seen in Palm Desert, California on October 12, 2007. She left her residence in the 61000 block of Wilson between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. to meet a nineteen-year-old friend, Sean Mihajson, at a smoke shop in Palm Desert, California, and has never been heard from again. Morris was driving a dark burgundy four-door 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer with California license plates numbered 6AKX022 at the time of her disappearance. It was rented from Avis. She was reported missing the next day. Sean dropped out of sight around the same time Morris did, but he was not listed as a missing person.In June 2008, authorities announced they were investigating Morris's case as a homicide. It is uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning. Police have recovered her car, along with evidence pointing to foul play.
Sean, Vanesa (sometimes spelled "Vanessa"), and Victor Mihajson are wanted for questioning in Morris's case. Photographs of the three Mihajsons are posted below this case summary. It is unclear how the they are related to one another. Investigators are not calling them suspects, but they believe the Mihajsons may have information on Morris's whereabouts. They were last known to living in Coachella Valley, California. Morris's case remains unsolved.
