Since her disappearance, authorities said John Westbrook has made Daphne stop all communications with her family.
“I didn’t know that that was the last time I’d see her, when she said goodbye to just spend that weekend with her dad,” Daphne’s mother, Rhona Curtsinger, previously told the Santa Fe New Mexican.
Daphne Westbrook didn't come home from a weekend trip to visit her father, John Westbrook, back in October 2019. Investigators now believe the pair is in Florida after they uncovered communication between Westbrook and his sister in Sebring.
