By June 2021, Cho was employed as the private chef for Tao Ruspoli’s “The Whole” Airbnb property, located outside of Joshua Tree National Park between Yucca Valley and Morongo Valley.
Missing news
The housekeeper at the Airbnb where Lauren Cho worked stated that both Cho and Orell had started drinking earlier in the day and had gotten into a fight when Orell wouldn’t let Cho leave on his own. Orell claimed that when he went inside the bus at around 3 o’clock, Cho became upset and left without her phone, food, or water. He searched with some friends for Cho and around 5:13 he called the local sheriff’s office for help.
Cho’s tracks reportedly were never discovered by the initial search party, and the search party’s tracks were the only ones discovered by responding law enforcement. As Cho had been arranging to meet a puzzler later in the week, this made Orell believe that Cho got into a car with someone.

In an effort to raise awareness of Cho’s disappearance, Orell and her friends posted flyers about missing people around Bombay Beach and used social media to spread Cho’s missing poster.
