A woman from Long Island, New York, is feared to be in peril after disappearing under mysterious circumstances. According to her family, she abruptly exited a moving vehicle and fled the scene last week.

The missing woman, 32-year-old Brittany Kritis-Garip, was last captured on surveillance video in Oyster Bay at approximately 8 p.m. on Friday, as reported by News 12 Long Island.

Her husband, Fernando Garip, recounted the events, explaining that Brittany appeared to be in a state of panic when she leapt from the car, discarded her phone into nearby bushes, and then ran away.

The family has not seen her since that night. Fernando Garip shared with Patch that volunteers have been diligently searching through wooded, rural, and suburban areas in hopes of finding her.

Brittany’s brother, Niko Kritis, described her as “vulnerable” and urged local residents to inspect their properties for any concealed spaces where someone might take refuge.

Niko Kritis, told Patch that his sister was “vulnerable” and asked that residents check their properties for spaces where someone could seek shelter. 

“Those small, careful actions could be what brings Brittany home,” he said. “We believe Brittany may be trying to isolate or avoid contact, and it’s possible she could be sheltering in secluded or hidden areas.”

He also asked homeowners to check their security cameras.

“We believe she was disoriented and frightened, and may think she is in danger,” search organizer Sarah Castor wrote on an online crowdfunding page. “She is not dangerous — she needs help.”

Volunteers have searched a one-mile stretch of shoreline near Oyster Bay Harbor after Kritis-Garip’s wallet was discovered on a road leading down to the water, Castor wrote on Facebook Wednesday.

“Brittany is an incredible, kind person and any efforts are appreciated by all who know her,” she wrote.

The Nassau County Police Department has used its helicopter and drones several times since Friday as part of the ongoing search.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Fernando Garip.

Kritis-Garip is described as a White woman with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds.
