Locals respond
Brad MacDonald told KSL TV that Casto visited his home on Friday afternoon. She was probably last seen there, he said. “I was working out of my office at around 12:30 in the afternoon,” he stated.
She entered the room. I assumed it was a friend of my daughter’s. Casto was perplexed, according to MacDonald. He claimed that before she left their home and vanished, she had a brief conversation with his 16-year-old daughter.
Not to be found
Officers showed up at his house in a matter of minutes, according to MacDonald, but Casto was not located. He claimed that it wasn’t until Saturday that friends and neighbours informed him that she had been reported missing.
“The fact that she was in our home yesterday and that we might have been able to stop her or provide her with more assistance made me feel bad all day,” he said. According to him and his spouse, they assembled a group of pals who ran trails.
According to him, they spent almost four hours on Sunday morning searching for Casto. MacDonald expressed regret that law enforcement personnel had discovered her body.
He remarked, “It was really emotional.” I believe that none of us knew her at all, particularly those of us who went up and searched for her this morning. However, when you’re up there searching for her and then learn that she’s dead, you feel a connection to her. How she died and why she might have gone missing have not been disclosed by Farmington Police. There was no more information given.
