Nebraska woman vanishes hours after sending message

According to her family, she sent her Snapchat message about going on a date (pictured) but ‘was planning on coming home that night’

A woman who has been missing for a week sent a Snapchat message saying she was ‘ready for my date’ just hours before she disappeared.

Sydney Loofe, 24, was last seen in Wilber, Nebraska, on Wednesday and was reported missing the next day.

She missed work at the Lincoln Menards, where she is a cashier, on Thursday, prompting her parents and cops to begin their search. 

Police have said the disappearance is ‘concerning’, while Loofe’s family worry she may have been kidnapped, the Lincoln Journal Star reports.

According to her family, though she sent her Snapchat message about going on a date with a woman she met online, she was definitely ‘planning on coming home that night’.

She also left her cat and car at her home in Lincoln.

The family said her phone was found to have connected to a cellphone tower in the Wilber area – which is about 40 miles southwest of Lincoln – but has since been turned off.

Her dad pleaded: ‘Tell her we love her and we’re waiting for her to come home.’

Now both cops and Loofe’s family have appealed to the public to help find the missing woman. 

She is described as being 5ft 7in tall and about 135lbs. 

She was last seen wearing a Columbia jacket and cream-colored shirt.

On her right arm, she has the words ‘Everything will be wonderful someday’. 

Anyone who finds her is asked to call Lincoln Police Department on 402-441-6000.
