Investigator Reveals New Details in Nurse's Disappearance

A private investigator has revealed new details in the case of Angelica Brophy, a nurse and mother of two who disappeared near a Southern California mountain three months ago. Investigator Anthony Campbell, who was hired by Brophy's colleagues at Kaiser Permanente Health Care Company, believes Brophy may have left her car and belongings as a form of farewell.

Brophy, 44, was last seen on July 6, dropping off her daughter at a camp in Oceanside. Surveillance footage later showed her leaving the Harrah's Resort Southern California Casino around 3:30 p.m. Approximately 50 minutes later, a parking slip indicated her car was at Palomar Mountain State Park, where she has not been seen since.

Campbell is now working as a volunteer on the case and suspects Brophy is still in the Palomar Mountain area. He noted that a gold necklace or bracelet, which strongly resembles one Brophy owned, was found on a trail in the park. Brophy's brother, Ramon Fabregas, believes the jewelry may belong to his sister, though law enforcement has not confirmed this.

Details have emerged about Brophy's past, including a week-long disappearance about 10 years ago that ended with her being found gambling in Las Vegas. Information compiled on the website findangelicabrophy.com indicates that Brophy visited two casinos on the day she vanished. An employee at Harrah's Casino described her as a high-tier gambler who visited frequently.

Brophy reportedly spent two hours at the Pechanga Resort Casino, a place her family said she frequented, before going to Harrah's. Her phone's last ping was from Palomar Mountain State Park. Brophy was last photographed with her family during lunch the day before she disappeared. The Daily Mail has reached out to the Oceanside Police Department for comment.
