Three South Korean women have disappeared while on a road trip from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas earlier in March.
The family of three - Jiyeon Lee, 33, Taehee Kim, 59, and Junghee Kim, 54 have vanished on a road trip to the Grand Cayon.
They were last seen heading from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas.
The GPS data of their rented vehicle (a white BMW), shows they were last on interstate 40 in Williams, Arizona - which is 35 minutes west of Flagstaff.

On the same day, a snowstorm on the highway led to a 22-car crash, resulting in two deaths and 16 injuries. The incident has raised suspicions that the crash might be connected to the disappearance of three South Korean women.
"A major accident occurred on the highway around the same time their phone's location signals were picked up, so the missing people might be connected to it," a local police officer said.
While police haven't confirmed their involvement, Coconino Sheriff's spokesman Jon Paxton stated that it's a possibility being investigated, as per ABC News.
After losing contact with the trio, who were supposed to return to South Korea on March 17, their family members contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for assistance. An official from the Republic of Korea Consulate General in Los Angeles said, "We supplied all relevant information to local authorities and sent staff to the area to assist with the swift search for the missing family."
