A desperate search is underway for a California woman who went missing on Friday after riding a dirt bike in the Mojave Desert with a friend.

Julie Goforth, 63, of Long Beach, California, was riding a dirt bike in the El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Area on Friday morning.

Goforth was riding with her wife, Laura Wells, and a friend, Juan, all of whom got up early that morning to go for a ride before temperatures climbed too high.
Goforth has not been seen since she turned back toward the trailhead from a spot near Adelanto to take a break

Goforth never returned to the vehicle they had driven to the trailhead. Wells added that Juan said Goforth had fallen off the bike a couple of times before she went missing but was “fine” afterward.

On Friday and Saturday, search team that included law enforcement officers, volunteers, dogs, drones and a helicopter searched for Goforth without success.
