SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The car belonging to a woman reported missing for nearly a week was found Thursday in San Diego.
San Diego police said 37-year-old Julia Jacobsen, who served six years in the Army, notified a friend via text message on Saturday that she was in Palm Springs. Her actual location at the time of the text is unconfirmed, police said.
