La Paz County deputies responded to a welfare check on March 21 after a woman was reported missing and last known to be in Quartzsite, according to a dispatch record archived by USCrimeRadar.

The dispatch identified the subject as a female driver whose whereabouts were unknown at the time of the call. No further identifying information was included in the publicly available summary.

Quartzsite is a town in La Paz County situated along Interstate 10 at its intersection with U.S. Route 95. The town is a popular recreational vehicle camping area for winter visitors, with tourism being the major contributor to its economy. The area draws a transient population throughout the cooler months, which can complicate efforts to locate individuals who pass through without a fixed address or established local contacts.

The La Paz County Sheriff's Office provides general-service law enforcement to unincorporated areas of La Paz County, and its deputies routinely handle welfare checks across a jurisdiction that spans a large and sparsely populated desert region. The Sheriff's Office non-emergency dispatch line can be reached at (928) 669-6141.

The outcome of the March 21 welfare check had not been publicly confirmed as of this report. Anyone with information relevant to a missing person in the Quartzsite area is encouraged to contact the La Paz County Sheriff's Office directly or dial 911 in an emergency.
