South Carolina police and family members continue the search for a missing Gastonia woman who’s nine months pregnant and hasn’t been seen in nearly a month.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Cissy Lee Collins was last seen on July 1 at a home in Gastonia, off Forest Drive. She was reported missing on July 19, according to WBTV.
“She’s been missing now for three weeks,” her cousin, Ashley Burton, said. “She will be 26 this Thursday. Cissy is about 5′11, about 200 pounds, she is pregnant.”
“We tried to call her phone. We can’t get through; there are call restrictions.”
Family members reportedly said that Collins has wandered off previously and has a mental health condition. However, she’s never been gone for this long and she’s expected to give birth this month.
“She actually ended up in Montana around 2016-2017 but she was only gone for about a week. We finally heard from her; she was safe visiting her biological mother,” Burton added.
“We don’t think she’s wandered off. We think she may be with someone that’s just holding her until she has the baby, so we believe maybe she’ll show up again right after the baby is born.”
She was last seen wearing black shorts and a white shirt, family members said.
Anyone with information on Collins’ whereabout is urged to contact Gastonia police at (704) 854-6651.
