Katherine 'Kat' Hammontre

Episode 113 Katherine 'Kat' Hammontre

April, 2019 was a tough month for 68 year old Katherine 'Kat' Hammontre. She had battled liver Cancer, but eventually decided not to seek treatment for it, and to face what came on her own terms. She was looking forward to her one year anniversary with her husband Warren Sundquist and enjoying the life she was living in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico, where she had moved to in the late 1990s. On April 11, Kat along with her husband, and a group of hikers decided to explore the beautiful area of Cañón del Diablo, or Devils Canyon in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir National Park, near San Felipe in Baja California. Warren and another man stayed down near the entrance to the trail, while Kat and the other hikers made their way up to see the waterfalls. That day, Kat had brought along her dog; Tootsie. On her way up the trail, Kat, who had injured her foot not long before the outing, stopped to rest on her own with Tootsie while the other hikers finished their climb. She planned to meet the group when they came back down. Later, when the group came back down, there was no sign of Kat or Tootsie. When the group made it down to Warren, he was shocked to find his wife was missing. Extensive searches of the area turned up no signs of Kat or Tootsie, and today, she remains missing. Kat's daughter Desiree, who is our guest in this episode, made her way to the area to join the efforts in finding her mom. She desperately wants to know what happened to her mom, and bring her home so that she can give her a proper farewell.
