Angelica Brophy, 44, was last seen on July 6 when she went to Harrah’s Resort Southern California casino and then drove to Palomar Mountain, where she frequently visited, according to KNSD. When Brophy didn't pick up her daughter as expected later that afternoon, her husband contacted the Oceanside Police Department to file a missing persons report.
