McCarthy Was Last Seen by Her Boyfriend & Roommate
According to the Napa Valley Register, McCarthy disappeared on December 13, 2021, during a major rainstorm. She is 37-years-old.
The newspaper reported that her boyfriend told police “he and their roommate had last talked to her the previous night,” and then he found some of her belongings “near the western bank of the Napa River,” not far from where they live.
Her cellphone was at home, and her bank accounts have not been used, according to the Register.
The Register reported that police don’t suspect foul play; they say McCarthy had been bringing food to a homeless woman and that the river was at high tide when she disappeared and she might have been swept away by it.
Her boyfriend told police that he had seen her the night before, an earlier Register story reported. She had asked about an umbrella, the newspaper reported.

Her Facebook page shows an interest in politics. She moved to Napa in January 2020, the page says.
