Lauren “El” Cho was an adventurous young woman who left her hometown on the East Coast for a new life with her boyfriend out West—and then just vanished.
Friends who saw her before she disappeared tell @MichaelDaly "it’s still just a total mystery."

As with Gabby Petito, Cho’s disappearance was preceded by an argument with her boyfriend, though friends say it did not escalate beyond a brief verbal exchange. thedailybeast.com/before-gabby-p…
Cho was last seen in California's Morongo Valley desert, striding away from the touring bus she shared with her boyfriend around 3 p.m. on June 28. She was wearing a yellow T-shirt, jean shorts, and Doc Martens boots. thedailybeast.com/before-gabby-p…
“It sounds like it might not have been a major thing that had her walk off from where she was, but then something major happens,” Cho's friend RJ Okay told The Daily Beast. thedailybeast.com/before-gabby-p…
Cho's boyfriend Cody Orell told a local newspaper that he went into the bus without seeing which direction Cho headed.
He later said that over the next few minutes he became worried about her wandering in the desert heat and set out in search of her. thedailybeast.com/before-gabby-p…

Cho's boyfriend, friends and Morongo Basin sheriffs repeatedly scoured the area looking for her, but they saw not so much as a single print of Cho’s Doc Martens.
She seemed to have literally vanished without a trace.

Back in New Jersey, her family declined to speak with The Daily Beast. But via the Facebook page “Missing Person: Lauren ‘El’ Cho,” which serves as a contact point for the Cho family, they attempted to debunk the similarities between Cho and Petito's cases.thedailybeast.com/before-gabby-p…
“Ultimately, these two cases are NOT the same and the differences run deeper than what meets the public eye,” the Facebook post read.
The investigation into Cho's disappearance remains active.
