Georgia woman, missing for weeks in Fresno County mountains, found alive
FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — A Georgia woman who went missing nearly three weeks ago in Fresno County has been found.
The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office says 27-year-old Tiffany Slayton was found safe Wednesday near Lake Edison in Fresno County.
Deputies say the owner of Vermilion Valley Resort was checking on his property near the lake when he found one of his cabins was occupied by a woman matching Slayton’s description. The owner immediately called the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office to report his findings.
Deputies traveled up to Kaiser Pass Road to meet with the owner to confirm it was Slayton.
Paramedics arrived shortly after to check on Slayton’s with deputies saying she was dehydrated but in good condition.
The Sheriff’s Office says recent snow that was cleared Wednesday led to the owner to access his property. The owner says he had left a cabin unlocked to offer shelter in case of a situation like this.
Slayton was camping throughout the Sierra before she was last seen in the Shaver Lake area on April 24.
The last time her family heard from her was when she was planning to camp near Huntington Lake. Her family told Action News she was set to begin medical school when she returned home to Georgia.
Detectives are now arranging to meet with Tiffany to learn more about her timeline of events and overall experience.

GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.
The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”
If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.
Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”
According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.
SR 4EX Text
“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”
The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.
That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.
