Michelle Reynolds’ mysterious disappearance leads to surveillance footage showing her wandering in Louisiana
New footage has emerged showing Michelle Reynolds, a missing teacher from Alvin, Texas, walking aimlessly in New Orleans, raising concerns about her mental state. The 48-year-old mother-of-three was last seen on 22 September when she told her husband, Michael Reynolds, she was heading out for food. When she failed to return, Michael reported her missing the same day.
Reynolds’ car was discovered in New Orleans, located approximately 350 miles from her home, with her purse, phone, and credit cards left inside. The discovery deepened fears that something sinister had occurred. However, new surveillance footage has revealed her walking in a confused state the day after her disappearance. This video was obtained from a business near where her car was located.
The non-profit group Texas EquuSearch, which is aiding in the search efforts, has been conducting aerial searches along the Mississippi River in hopes of locating the missing woman. Tim Miller, a member of the organisation, explained that they have seen success using helicopters in similar searches.
At first, there were concerns about foul play, with speculation that Reynolds may have been carjacked or taken. However, the newly obtained video reveals that she had parked her vehicle at around 12:01 pm on Saint Peters Street near the river, and then appeared to wander off. Miller expressed hope that Reynolds might simply be disoriented and lost, and that someone would spot her soon.
The video, shared by Mr Reynolds, confirms that no harm was likely done between the time of her parking and when she was seen walking away. “We’re hoping she’s just confused and wandering, and that we can safely bring her back home,” Miller said.
Michelle Reynolds is described as a 5ft 10in woman with blonde hair and brown eyes. She weighs around 175 lbs. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office or Texas EquuSearch.
