A Colorado woman vanished days before Thanksgiving after texting her brother that she was going shopping.
Jayna Lang, 46, texted her brother Eric Horvat at 11:17 a.m. on Nov. 24 that she was heading to the Outlets at Silverthorne to do some shopping before the holidays, according to Denver7.
“That was the last communication we had,” Horvat told the outlet.
“Never, never did we ever think that she would be gone, and we don’t know where, where she’s at.”
Lang and her vehicle, a 2016 White 4 Runner SUV with a customized Colorado license plate reading “JAYNA,” were last seen in Littleton, a town about 10 miles outside downtown Denver.
Lang’s family grew worried when her job at “A Clip Above Pet Styling” in Centennial contacted them to see if they had been in contact with her after she missed multiple work days.
“She was supposed to be going to Silverthorne to look at the factory shops on Sunday, and her job called us and said she didn’t show up on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and now nobody has heard from her, talked to her or anything,” Horvat shared.
Lang’s family and co-workers said it is out of character for her not to answer their messages and to miss work without notice.
“My aunt and her talk every single day. Me and her, every couple of days. So, for my aunt not to hear from her, it’s very, very suspicious,” her brother said.
Lang’s family said she loves the outdoors and frequently travels into the mountains in her free time.
“She liked to frequently visit Park County, especially the Indian Mountain subdivision,” The Park County Sheriff’s Office shared on Facebook, along with a photo of Lang’s SUV.
Someone contacted the family, identifying Lang’s vehicle as one they believe they saw driving from Breckenridge to Keystone on Highway 6 on Wednesday night.
Horvat told 9 News that his family was contacted by someone who said they might have seen his sister’s vehicle driving from Breckenridge to Keystone on Highway 6 on Wednesday night.
Lang’s loved ones are now asking the public to keep an eye out for her.
“Maybe her car is somewhere off of the road, somewhere that anybody traveling this weekend would have saw it,” Horvat told the outlet.
“We miss her. Tell her to come home. Give us a call. Let us know you’re okay.”
The Post has contacted the Park County Sheriff’s Office for comment.
Lang’s disappearance comes as police continue their hunt for Hannah Kobayashi.
Kobayashi has been missing since Nov. 11, when she never boarded her connecting flight in Los Angeles during her trip from Hawaii to New York.
Since their daughter’s disappearance, the Kobayashis have faced several hardships culminating in the tragic death of their father.
Ryan Kobayashi, as he was searching for his daughter, took his own life.
Police confirmed that Ryan Kobayashi, 58, died after he jumped off a parking structure near LAX sometime around 4 a.m. Sunday, six days after his daughter was reported missing.
