Her family has turned to social media, setting up the Help Find Jenna Van Gelderen Facebook page to help find her. On an update posted Sept. 15, it announced: "Car has been found! It is being processed by Dekalb police, no further information until they finish."

The car is a 2010 Blue Mazda 6 sedan; license PWH5902, the family has said.

Gelderen reportedly texted a friend just after 2 a.m. to say that she was going to lay down. Her phone hasn't been used again, according to local media. It was the last time the 25-year-old used her phone, her family says.

The next day, Jenna's brother, William Van Gelderen, went to the home -- but his sister was gone as was her car and suitcase, the newspaper reports.

Jenna Van Gelderen is described as 4 '11 and 140 pounds.
