Case Information
38-year-old Yolan Miller was last seen in Sedona, Arizona on June 19, 2022. She disappeared after leaving her apartment in a hurry, telling a roommate she was headed to Jerome, Arizona.
Background
Yolan Renee Miller was born on November 26, 1984 in Arizona. She attended Pima Community College and Northern Arizona University where she studied advertising and visual communication.
At the time of her disappearance, Miller was living at a residence in the 900 block of Northview Road in Sedona, Arizona. She worked in the floral department of a Safeway store.
Disappearance
On June 19, 2022, Miller was last seen around 4:00 pm at her apartment when she told a roommate she was going to Jerome in Yavapai County. She reportedly left in a hurry and drove away in her vehicle.
Yolan Miller never showed up to work after that day and missed a scheduled doctor’s appointment. She has never been heard from again.
Investigation
On June 24, 2022, Miller’s vehicle, a dark gray 2015 Ford Escape with the temporary license plate 885073B, was found abandoned on Forest Service Road 525 near the Honanki Heritage Site, about fifteen miles west of Sedona, Arizona.
The vehicle was parked at this location sometime around June 19, the day she went missing. Miller has autism and reportedly suffered from other health issues at the time, which would have prevented her from hiking extensively along the trail.
According to her family, Miller may have been in a vulnerable state since her brother’s death a year ago. Nevertheless, she was reportedly not suicidal and was more concerned for her mother at the time of her disappearance.

Remains found outside of Sedona city limits on October 17, 2025 have been positively identified as Yolan Miller. The cause of death has not been determined, as only partial remains were found.

I would like to get in touch with the family/aunt of Yolan. I talked with the family shortly after her disappearance, and I would like to ask them a question, as an evidential Medium, about connecting to see if I can get some answers as I don’t think we should give up hope until we’re sure there’s no hope to be had.
