A search was planned Thursday afternoon for a Provo woman who has not been seen for a week.

Volunteers plan to search along the Provo River and other areas of interest around the city for Elizabeth Elena Laguna-Salgado, starting at 4 p.m., according to a Facebook event to help coordinate the search. The river is close to her work and her apartment, and is a route she might have taken between the two, said the search's organizer Alex Villalobos.

Laguna-Salgado, 26, was last seen walking home April 16 from the Nomen Global Language School at 384 W. Center St. Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for the woman, who failed to report to work last week or return to her Provo apartment.

"It's a long time for something bad to happen," Villalobos said. He does not know Laguna-Salgado personally, but wanted to help after hearing about her case Wednesday morning.

Laguna-Salgado is a returned Mormon missionary who has only been living in the area for about a month, Villalobos said. Family members told police they have not been able to make contact with her.

Her only relative in the area is an uncle, as her parents are in Mexico, according to the page.

"No ones knows where she is or even has a clue of where she could be," a post to the page reads.

Laguna-Salgado is described as 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-5, 120-130 pounds, with long black hair and brown eyes.

When last seen, she was wearing a denim jacket, blue jeans, black or brown knee-high boots, and was carrying a denim hand bag with red straps.

Anyone with information about Laguna-Salgado is asked to call Provo police at 801-852-6210.
