Summary
Washington police have upgraded Antoinette Forbes' disappearance to a critically missing case and barred even relatives from her Nebraska Avenue NW home, which investigators are treating as an active crime scene.
Family friends who entered the house with a key found Forbes' dog alone inside, while her phones, wallet and car were all left behind—signs her sister said immediately suggested something was wrong.
Forbes, 53, was last seen around 3 p.m. Friday at her home after what her sister described as a normal FaceTime call Saturday morning about holiday plans and family travel to Florida.
Detectives have given the family few substantive updates but have stayed in contact since Monday, while relatives insist nothing in Forbes' life suggested she would leave voluntarily.
Police describe Forbes as 5-foot-2 and about 115 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and are asking the public for information on her whereabouts.
