Family Fears Abduction as Police Find Missing Idaho Woman’s Car Abandoned in Another State

Police in Idaho and Oregon are searching for a missing Boise woman who hasn’t been seen or heard from in over a week.

Gwen Brunelle, 27 left Boise in her car on June 26, according to her father, Andy Brunelle. She was then spotted at a gas station in Malheur County, Oregon, the following day. On Friday, Gwen’s car was found abandoned off Succor Creek Road, around half a mile west of U.S. 95 in Malheur County, the Idaho Statesman reports.

“She may have wandered from the car or was abducted,” her family said on Facebook.

Officials reported that over the past few days, a collaborative team involving Malheur County Search and Rescue, the Idaho Mountain Search & Rescue Unit, Ontario Fire and Rescue, and numerous volunteers have been searching for Brunelle.

She’s described as a white female who stands 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs around 160 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information on Brunelle’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Boise Police Department at 208-377-6790 or the Malheur County Sheriff’s Office at 541-473-5125.
