In a 2003 interview with the Arizona Range News, Dana Pitcher Hills said her mother and sister left their home near the Ash Creek School about 1 p.m. May 23 to walk to the “RV park store” at the intersection of Highways 181 and 191.

The mother and daughter intended to make the walk from their home to the store. They were last seen at about 3 p.m., heading back along 181 toward their home, Hills said.
Dorothy and Danielle Pitcher haven’t been seen or heard from since.
The Arizona Range News reported in its June 3, 1993, edition that Jack Pitcher called the sheriff’s office on May 24, 1993. The article quoted Sgt. Les Wolslagel (now retired) as saying a tracking dog led searchers from the Pitcher residence to the store, but failed to pick up any other tracks.
A helicopter search of the area also failed to find anything.
Deputies also went door-to-door, hoping to find someone who might have seen the mother and daughter or have information that could help the investigation, the article stated.
With very few bits of solid evidence, the case remained unsolved.
The search of the immediate area was ongoing for several months with various leads being followed, and the investigation remains open.
“I just do not want the public to forget that my mother and sister have been missing just about 10 years now,” Dana Pitcher Hills said in the 2003 interview. “I miss my mom and sister so very much.”
