Crews have resumed their search for a missing paramedic-firefighter whose car was found abandoned in a Virginia national park.
Nicole Mittendorff, 31, was reported missing on Friday after she failed to show up for work with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue.
She was last heard from via text message with a family member on 13 April, authorities said.
Her vehicle was found on Saturday in a car park near White Oak Canyon Trail in Shenandoah National Park.
Relatives said Ms Mittendorff is an avid runner and triathlete who might have been in the park to go running.
Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corrine Geller said there were no signs of foul play in the car or surrounding area.
Crews have been searching the area on ground and in the air using helicopters.
Family members set up a Facebook page and web page to seek the public's help.
"Our fondest hope is a safe and soon resolution," the family wrote in a post.
Anyone with information on Ms Mittendorff's whereabouts are being asked to call Virginia State Police at 703-803-0026.
