Steamboat Springs – Police on Friday evening searched the home of the man they think might have been with Steamboat Springs resident Page Stockdale when she disappeared.
While the search still was being conducted, Steamboat Police Chief Joel Rae said they had not found anything that immediately would tell them where to find Stockdale and Mark Schiebel.
Schiebel lives in a Meadowlark Condo unit on Village Drive.
Rae and other officers planned to work through the weekend on the case.
Stockdale, who is the sister of Durango resident Beth Lamberson Warren, was reported missing Tuesday night after not showing up for a dinner date. On Wednesday, she did not show up for a physical therapy appointment, and on Thursday, she neither boarded a plane nor canceled her ticket for a trip to Vermont.
What happened to her and Schiebel remains a mystery.
“I really don’t know,” Rae said.
In recent months, Stockdale had been seen driving a black Toyota Tacoma pickup with a topper and grill guard. The pickup has Colorado license plate 296-NVH. The truck belongs to Schiebel, 59, who has lived in Steamboat for about 15 years. Police think it is possible Stockdale may be with Schiebel, but they have been unable to find Schiebel or his truck.
Rae said Friday that Schiebel missed a probation appointment. The police chief also said many people had contacted police with information about the case, including an anonymous text message to a tip line from someone saying they saw Stockdale in her garage Tuesday afternoon.
Stockdale’s niece, Kathrine Warren, said family members were in Steamboat on Friday passing out fliers with information about Stockdale’s disappearance.
“The response that I’ve seen is amazing,” Warren said. “A lot of people in town, they’re quite concerned for her as well.”
Police think Warren is one of the last people who saw Stockdale before she disappeared.
Warren said she met Stockdale on Saturday in Denver. Stockdale was picking up a new Lexus, which police later found at Stockdale’s home on Après Ski Way.
Warren said she and her aunt had dinner Saturday, and then Stockdale drove back to Steamboat.
“Nothing of any sort indicated that she was upset or up to something,” Warren said. “She was just my usual Aunt Page and super funny, and it was really good to catch up with her. We’ve always sort of had a bond.”
Warren said she got an email from Stockdale on Monday.
Family members are hoping for some answers soon, Warren said.
“The best we can do is get the word out and (hope) that someone has seen Mark, Page or this black Toyota truck,” she said.
Warren and other friends said Stockdale never said anything about a person named Mark Schiebel.
“I have no clue who he is,” Warren said.
Police think Stockdale has lived in Steamboat for more than 30 years.
She is currently a property manager, works occasionally doing office work at Johnson & Johnson Physical Therapy and has worked for Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp since 1986.
Ski Corp.’s Vice President of Human Resources Trish Sullivan said that for the past few years, Stockdale worked in a retail store at The Steamboat Grand as a sales associate. Stockdale was not planning on working for Ski Corp. this upcoming ski season.
“She has made a lot of close friends over the years through working here,” Sullivan said. “Everyone’s very worried about her.”
Steamboat resident John Lamb, a friend of Stockdale’s, said she is an active member of the Steamboat Christian Center who likes going on airplane rides.
“She never turns down a ride in my airplane or anyone else’s,” Lamb said
He said that despite severe scoliosis, Stockdale also likes exploring the outdoors.
“That’s never prevented her from enjoying a Steamboat lifestyle,” Lamb said.
