Authorities in west-central Missouri have issued an endangered person advisory for a 36-year-old woman who has been missing for over a week.
Nicole Shalee Mallatt was last seen around 7:40 p.m. Nov. 26, according to a statement from the Bates County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office said it had received the missing persons report on Nov. 29 and began investigating.
Mallatt's belongings, including her phone, backpack and shoes, were found Thursday within 100 yards of her Bates County home, about 70 miles south of Kansas City.
In addition to finding some of Mallatt's belongings, the sheriff's office said it also served a warrant to search her home and that the residence has been processed by the Kansas City Police Department Crime Lab.
The Southwest Missouri Major Case Squad convened to help with the search, which centered around a 220-acre property she lives on with her longtime boyfriend, the sheriff's office added. It has since expanded the search to include surrounding farms.
On Thursday during a news conference, Bates County Sheriff Chad Anderson indicated there have been no signs of foul play at this time in the investigation.
Anderson also relayed a message to Mallatt, who is a mother of three children.
"If you have just decided that you are done and you want to start a new life and left on your own free will, I have one question and a favor to ask: That you go to your nearest law enforcement agency, identify yourself, let them confirm you're who you are and we can give your family some answers," Anderson said.
"To Nicole's family and friends, we will not rest until we have answers for you."
Mallatt is described as a white female, 5 feet 3 inches tall, around 120 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. The endangered person advisory issued Friday stated that Mallatt has "suicidal ideations."
On Friday, the sheriff's office said that any information regarding its need for volunteers would be posted on Facebook.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Bates County Sheriff's Office at 660-679-3232.
