Pregnant Parkland woman missing nearly a week under suspicious circumstances
A 33-year-old pregnant Parkland woman is missing under suspicious circumstances, and her car was found abandoned in downtown Tacoma.
Kassandra Cantrell was last seen about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday (Aug. 25) after leaving her family’s home.
Her family reported her missing Thursday after she did not return home or call, and missed a scheduled doctor’s appointment for her first ultrasound.
“This is way out of character for her so we’re worried,” said Ed Troyer, spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.
Cantrell’s friends believe she was heading to go grocery shopping the day she disappeared but there was no activity on her debit or credit cards.
Her cell phone hasn’t been used since she went missing, investigators said, but it last pinged off Vashon Island.
That prompted search teams to check Point Defiance Park Sunday for any sign of her.
The search in the park is set to continue Monday.
Cantrell’s Mazda 3 sedan was found Friday night parked in the 300 block of 25th Street East near the Interstate 705 overpass in Tacoma.
Detectives are scouring the area and asking businesses to check surveillance cameras for any sign of Cantrell or her car between Tuesday and Friday.
Cantrell is described as 5-feet-7 and 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.
If anyone has information about her whereabouts, they are asked to call 911.
