Share this @internewscast.com

Police in Texas are searching for a Wise County woman who hasn’t been seen in weeks.

According to police, family members reported 48-year-old Monica Sanford missing on August 25, a day after she was last seen.

FOX 4 reports that the Wise County Sheriff’s Office stated that foul play is likely involved in Sanford’s disappearance.

Police said Sanford had been staying in a trailer off Cuba Road in Bridgeport, when her car was found “in the back of the property.”

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Chief Deputy Eric Debus indicated authorities grew concerned upon noticing that Sanford had left her belongings behind, including her dog.

“This dog is her world…like her kids are all adults, all grown, and she is not married, that’s her dog,” her sister, Darla Hastings, said.

“That is her. She sleeps with that dog. It means everything to her. My sister would never, never leave her dog behind. She would definitely leave her car before abandoning the dog.”

Hastings added that she doesn’t believe her sister is still alive.

“I don’t believe my sister is alive anymore, because if she were, she wouldn’t ignore us. She would have reached out and wouldn’t miss Destiny’s birthday.”

Police said they have a person of interest in custody on unrelated charges.

“I was told that her and her ex-boyfriend left at 10 p.m. on the 23rd and that only the ex-boyfriend returned the next day,” Hastings told FOX 4.

According to Hastings, Texas EquuSearch is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to Sanford’s whereabouts.

“I don’t know her current whereabouts, but wherever she is right now, she doesn’t deserve it,” Hastings said. “She really doesn’t deserve to be there. She belongs with my mother.”

Anyone with information on her whereabout is urged to contact the Texas Crime Stoppers tip line at 800-643-TIPS (8477), or online at www.p3tips.com.
