The women checked out of their hotel on Tuesday morning and “were supposed to be heading in their rental car toward Phoenix/Mesa airport in Arizona” to fly home, police said. However, their rental car, a white Toyota 4 door sedan, was never turned in, nor did the women make their flight home.
“Police everywhere have been contacted, airports, records searched.Nothing is giving us any help,” Bodine’s daughter wrote in the message.
“We have exhausted all efforts and I’m just hoping to post this and maybe it reaches somewhere beneficial,” Bodine’s daughter shared. “Please, please, please keep my family in your prayers.”
