On Wednesday (5 Aug), Riley’s rental car was found abandoned with her belongings still inside, as reported by Need To Know.
The Zipcar rental was discovered by loved ones at an orchard near McKinley and Academy in Fresno, California – who had tracked a GPS signal.
The authorities confiscated the vehicle before securing a search warrant for her last known location – her ex’s home.
Riley’s family confirmed that her phone last pinged at 1pm on 4 Aug at the property before losing service.
A large police presence attended the home in Grove Avenue, Fresno, California on Wednesday (5 Aug).

“Her phone was last at her ex’s house, her rental car was abandoned on McKinley and Academy in an Orchard in the middle of nowhere.
