According to local police, when investigating her home they discovered “a significant amount of blood.” They concluded that “given the circumstances, it is believed Rachel is at risk.”
Emily Castillo told ABC affiliate KABC that when she returned home Thursday night, she “saw the blood, that’s when I realized something wasn’t right.” She said keys, a phone, and the car were in the house, but Rachel was not.
Emily added Rachel had dropped off her sons with their father earlier that morning, but had no reason to believe he would harm Rachel.
