'Somebody's doing something terrible there': Woman last seen near Seligman told friends she felt unsafe, family says

Shayna Feinman was last seen on March 9 between Seligman and Peach Springs. Those last seen with Shayna are not cooperating with authorities.

PHOENIX — It's been two months since Shayna Feinman, 35, disappeared. Authorities say she was walking to a nearby friend's house and never made it. Now, the two people who last saw her are not cooperating with investigators.

“It's so scary to think that it's already been two months of my sister being gone and I still feel like I don't know what happened and I don't know where she is and I don't feel closer to knowing where she is, which is so scary," said Kara Feinman, Shayna Feinman's sister.

Kara Feinman has been speaking out about her sister's disappearance from the moment she was missing.

Shayna Feinman was living on a property in the Hyde Park area between Peach Springs and Seligman.

The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, which is investigating the case, said she was last seen walking to a nearby friend's house. She never made it there.

Her car, wallet, camping gear, and dog were all left behind.

'They're probably some of the only people that might have answers.'

Detectives later found Shayna Feinman's cell phone on a nearby property. They say the last two people seen with Shayna Feinman- the owner of the property where she lived and her boyfriend of close to a year and a half - are not cooperating with the investigation.

“It's suspicious if you're not cooperating and somebody is missing and you are one of the last people to see her," Kara Feinman said. "Wouldn't you want to find out what happened? Wouldn't you want to help find her, especially if you were seeing her and that was your partner? I don't know it's just, it's really hard. It's really hard because they're probably some of the only people that might have answers.”

Kara Feinman said some who were in close contact with Shayna Feinman leading up to her disappearance have shared troubling messages they had received where Shayna expressed safety concerns.

“On more than one occasion, she shares about feeling fearful and not feeling safe. And it's really hard to read those things because if I had known how unsafe and how scared she was at any of those times, I feel like I would have been there. I would have flown out there. I wouldn't have let her be in this situation where she's felt so unsafe that something terrible has happened," Kara Feinman said.

“Have you been able to gather any information about why she may have been feeling that way?” asked 12News reporter Bianca Buono.

“I don't think she was in a healthy relationship. I don't think that they treated each other nicely," Kara Feinman said.

Kara Feinman is begging anyone with information to come forward so her sister can come home.

There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to Shayna Feinman. If you have any information, contact the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office or Yavapai Silent Witness. 

“The people of Arizona need to know what's happening in that area. And truthfully, I feel like they should be angry, just like I am, if not scared because somebody's doing something terrible there," Kara Feinman said.
