"She had an extra key to my car and I didn’t know it. My older car is gone and that’s the one she was seen driving that night," said Wes.
Police say her cellphone, social media accounts and bank accounts have been inactive since she was reported missing.
“No credit card action or nothing. She had some cash but how long that’s going to last," Wes said.
