Aragon’s burgundy 1986 Subaru station wagon (license plate 286 PDE) was later found abandoned in a very remote area west of Lake Pleasant, accessible only by helicopter. Some of her belongings were inside, but her green 1990s pickup truck was missing.

Both Aragon and Bishop had outstanding warrants: Aragon for drug possession and endangering a child, and Bishop for aggravated assault and domestic violence. Bishop had recently been released from prison.

While Bishop was reportedly abusive, Aragon’s family doesn’t think he’s responsible for her disappearance; they believe something may have happened to him too.

Aragon was going through a difficult time: a divorce, custody battle, and the recent death of her 10-year-old son in a drunk driving accident four months prior. She was severely depressed, had lost weight, and talked about not wanting to live anymore. She also lacked a stable home, moving between relatives.

A former boyfriend claimed to have seen her a year later and urged her to contact the police, but this hasn’t been confirmed. He also said her name was on a “hit list.”

Aragon’s family fears she’s dead, but doesn’t believe she would have committed suicide or left her children. The police consider her disappearance suspicious, and the case remains unsolved.
