But she never came home.
Now her family is pleading with the public to share any information they may have that can help them find Gayle.
“It’s almost like she walked out of the house and, poof, she was gone,” says Gayle’s sister Dawn Vigil.
There are some disappearances that leave behind a trail of clues, and then there are those that leave behind questions.
For 53-year-old Gayle Schneider’s family, there are many of them.
She left her Tucson home on June 7th, telling family she was going to visit a male friend in Stanfield for a day or two.
Gayle’s family says she took the greyhound bus to a stop in Eloy, then would have taken an Uber to her friend’s home.
The family has spoken to this friend.
“So his theory is he woke up, she was gone. And she said she was going to go home. Unfortunately, Gayle does not drive due to her disability. She doesn’t drive. So she would have had to gotten some ride to the nearest location, which would have been that eight miles to the Circle K. So she could have picked up a ride from somebody. We’re not really sure at this point. You know, we just know that she…Nobody has seen her since he claims he’s the last one who saw her,” says Vigil.
There is a reason the family is especially worried about Gayle.
She is insulin-dependent, and would have run out of her supply by June 11th.
Gayle’s friend told the family she had low blood sugar and left walking to the Circle K.

But the store is 8 miles from his Stanfield home.
“My biggest concern is that, and she’s very, how do I say this, she’s trusting, very trusting of strangers, you know. And being rural like that out there, somebody could have given her a ride, you know, having to walk eight miles, anybody would accept a ride, you know, just bring me to the, she’s going up to the Circle K and, you know, to get whatever orange juice would imagine, because that’s what brings your blood sugar back up again. That’s the only thing I could think of, that she was heading in that direction. And then she was going to get the bus from that point on,” says Gayle’s mother Gayle Schlagel.
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office used drones, a helicopter, and dogs to try to locate Gayle, with no luck.
For the people who know Gayle, this isn’t simply a missing person poster. It’s a mother, a sister, a daughter, and a friend.
“It’s very uncommon for her not to reach out to her children. I mean, she always knows where, you know, her children always know where she’s at, what her plans are, when she’s going to be home. She also has a very small dog. It’s like her emotional support dog named Roscoe. And for her to just not come home, it’s just not a common thing for her,” says Vigil.
The family also says Gayle loved to be on Facebook and Instagram, but there has been no activity from her on the platforms. And they have been living the same day over and over again, in agony.
This is their message to the public.
“That she’s very loved and missed. That we want her to come home. We want to know that she’s safe. And we’re hoping that, you know, the community will reach out. And let us all know if they’ve seen her,” says Vigil.
The family is offering a reward for information that helps them find Gayle, and they’ve also started a Facebook page to post updates and keep Gayle’s name out there.
