A 31-year-old Minneapolis woman went to buy a pair of shoes at the Mall of America Saturday and never returned home, and her car has not been found, said family members who have filed a missing person report with the Minneapolis Police Department.
Anne Barber Dunlap, a Pillsbury marketing manager, reportedly drove her 1987 maroon Toyota Celica to Nordstrom and talked with a sales clerk there after leaving home at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. From there, her whereabouts are unknown.
“We have had friends and family out scouring retail areas and parking lots for her car, but she has just disappeared,” said husband Brad Dunlap, a sales manager for Environmental Graphics in Hopkins.
“This is so uncharacteristic of her. I just know something has gone wrong. You go from being angry to crying like a baby. This is just so frustrating,” he said.
Minneapolis Police Sgt. Richard Edinger said there is no indication of foul play.
Minneapolis police were the first to receive the missing person report, so they are handling the case.
Dunlap said his wife had no reason to “disappear” because everything was going well. They are building a house in Minneapolis and are living temporarily with her parents in their home on Lake Calhoun.
Bloomington police and the mall security department have been notified of Dunlap’s disappearance and have a description of her and her car, officials said.
“We get reports quite frequently that people are missing” said officer John Martin in Bloomington. “It is hard to say what the parties’ reasons are for not contacting home or if anything else is involved. “He declined to say whether the circumstances of Dunlap’s case seem more suspicious than other missing reports. “We really don’t know anything.”
Dunlap’s license plate number is 055 FDB. Anyone with information is asked to call the Minneapolis police.
