Disappearance of Asha Kreimer

On September 21, 2015, a 26-year-old Australian woman named Asha Kreimer disappeared. She had been awake for five days, suffering a mental health crisis, and had been released following a psychiatric evaluation. While eating breakfast with her boyfriend and a family friend in the Rollerville Cafe in Flumeville, California, she went to the restroom. Her friend followed, but found that Kreimer had disappeared.[1][2]

Background

Twenty-six-year-old Asha Kreimer had been living with her boyfriend in Albion, California, for three years when she suffered a mental health crisis. After being awake for four nights, she was taken to Mendocino Coast District Hospital in Fort Bragg, California, on September 20, 2015. Mendocino County's privatized mental health service evaluated her under California Code 5150 to determine if she was a risk to herself or others.[3] However, Kreimer was so resistant to having her vital signs taken that the Fort Bragg Police Department was called. In the end, Kreimer was released to her boyfriend and a visiting Australian childhood friend.[1][4]

Disappearance

After Kreimer's release, the trio then drove south toward Point Arena, to the Rollerville Cafe in Flumeville. At 9:30 a.m., while they were in the cafe, Kreimer went to the restroom. Her childhood friend followed suit, but did not find Kreimer in the bathroom. At the time she disappeared, Kreimer was barefoot and dressed in black skinny jeans and a gray hoodie. She left without money, credit cards, or identification. She also may have left her cell phone behind, though that is debated. Her jacket was subsequently found along the road to the Point Arena Light.[1]

There have been subsequent vague reports of Kreimer. According to a spokesman for the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, she supposedly returned north to her Albion home and retrieved her German shepherd. A surfer at Gualala, south of the cafe, also purportedly saw her at about 3 p.m. on the day she disappeared.[4][5]

As of February 2016, the search for Kreimer continued, as her friends at her ancestral home in Alice Springs, Australia, raised funds to continue looking.[6]
