The family of a Colorado woman who’s been missing since she reportedly left home to visit a local shopping mall has said they’ve received “not good news” about her.

Jayna Lang, 46, was last seen by her family in Littleton on Sunday, Nov. 24, the Park County Sheriff’s Office stated in a release. She reportedly told her relatives that she was going to visit the Outlets at Silverthorne, reported ABC News affiliate Denver7.

“Please be on the lookout for this vehicle and female party … She was headed to Summit County. She liked to frequently visit Park County, especially the Indian Mountain subdivision,” the police release stated on Thursday, Nov. 28.

Denver7 reported that Lang left home in her white 2016 Toyota 4Runner with a license plate marked “JAYNA.”

In a Facebook update posted by Lang’s sister-in-law, Stacy Laigo-Horvat, on Sunday, Dec. 1, the family shared that had received “not good news” regarding Lang’s whereabouts, although she did not disclose precisely what they had been told.

Her brother, Eric Horvat, had shared earlier that he last spoke to her the day she went missing. 

“Never, never did we ever think that she would be gone, and we don’t know where, where she’s at,” he told Denver7. “She was supposed to be going to Silverthorne to look at the factory shops on Sunday.”

Eric shared with the news outlet that he later received a call from Lang’s employer saying that she hadn’t shown up to work the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and no one had heard from her.

“Maybe her car is somewhere off of off the road, somewhere that anybody traveling this weekend would have saw it,” he told Denver7. 

“That was the last communication we had. My aunt and her talk every single day. Me and her, every couple days. So, for my aunt not to hear from her, it’s very, very suspicious.”

PEOPLE has reached out to the Park County Sheriff’s Office for an update on this case.
