During their Northern California #hikingadventures , the Mariposa family's trip took a #tragic and enigmatic turn as they mysteriously vanished.
Ellen Chung and Jonathan #Gerrish, a contentedly married couple, shared a profound love for hiking. They eagerly explored the great outdoors almost every weekend, accompanied by their devoted 8-year-old dog, Oski—a charming mix of Australian Shepherd and Akita. In August 2020, their family joyously welcomed the arrival of their beautiful daughter, Aurelia Miju.
Jonathan Gerrish pursued a career as a software engineer in Silicon Valley. With the onset of the pandemic, remote work became the norm, prompting the family to contemplate a significant life change. They yearned to provide their daughter with a rural upbringing far removed from the hustle and bustle of city living. This desire led them to the life-altering decision to bid farewell to San Francisco and make their home in Mariposa, California.
