TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – People who care about a pregnant woman who went missing are speaking out.
Anastasia Gilley, who is 19 years old, hasn’t been seen or heard from since Wednesday night, May 3. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office says that she hasn’t been seen or heard from since then.
Gilley was born and raised in Tallahassee, but for the past year and a half, his family said, he had been living in Marianna. She’s been pregnant for four months.
Mary Taylor, who was once Gilley’s formal guardian, said that she sent a text message to her best friend in Kentucky around 9 p.m. on Wednesday.
Since then, Gilley has allegedly gone “radio silent” and missed a doctor’s visit and several shifts at Jim’s Buffet and Grill in Marianna.
“I’m feeling too much. Taylor told Katie Kaplan of WCTV that he was scared.”I’m almost speechless because this is so out of character.”
Taylor said that she is sick with worry. She said this was especially true after one of Gilley’s neighbors said she heard a scream the night she went missing.
“She’s only 4-foot-11 and acts like she’s 10 feet tall and bulletproof, but this is a big world for her,” Taylor said. “The world is big, and we want Anastasia to get back home safely. We are expecting another grandchild, and we want them to get home safely.”
Taylor said she thinks there may have been foul play because Gilley’s boss told her that she had been threatened by another worker recently and detectives told her they are “following leads.”
Ramsey Romero, a JCSO spokesman, wouldn’t say anything about the investigation on Tuesday, but he did tell WCTV that every available detective is working on the case around the clock.
“Please let us know if you’ve seen her. Help her get home. “Let her go if you have her,” begged Gilley’s dad, James Delaney. “We don’t know what’s going on, but she didn’t leave.”
Delaney was married to Gilley’s real mother, and he said he went to Gilley’s house on Friday when he heard that her friends and family couldn’t reach her.
He said that the police had asked him to look around the house. Inside, there were no signs of a fight, and all of Gilley’s clothes and things were still there.
But he did see Gilley’s cats running around the house and told Gilley that he saw something that scared him.
He said, “It was kind of strange that none of the cat food bowls had food in them.” “There was no water for them. So, every time this happened, it took a few days.”
Taylor said that JCSO agents went to Gilley’s house on Sunday and left with evidence bags.
Gilley’s family says that her boyfriend is not a suspect because he has an alibi that can’t be proven to be false.
The family is now making plans to look for Gilley on the ground near his home on Whispering Pines in Greenwood.
Since the area is a country and has a lot of space, they are hoping that people will volunteer to help with the search. Once the facts are set in stone, WCTV will let people know.
Gilley is 115 cm tall and weighs 105 kg. She is four months pregnant and has brown hair and blue eyes. If you know anything about where Gilley is, please call the JCSO at (850) 482-9624 right away.
