Cindy Sumner has physical and mental disabilities
TOLEDO, OH -- A 20-year-old developmentally disabled Toledo woman has been missing for over two days.
NBC4's Laura Rice met with Cindy Sumner's family and friends as they searched for her Saturday.
A couple dozen of Cindy's loved ones as they met at Jamie Farr Park where she was last seen, and then scoured Toledo.
One group stopped at a church where there was a rumor someone had spotted her and then at Cherry Street Mission where a homeless woman claimed to have seen Cindy.
But for now, the search continues.
"We're searching as many places as we can go. Hopefully we find her. She's never done this before. We just want her home," said Tina Rutkowski, Cindy's aunt.
All agree they could not just sit at home and do nothing.
"I'm just too nervous. I can't eat, sleep or nothing," said Timothy Sumner, Cindy's dad.
Everyone is convinced something is wrong. Because, they say, Cindy would not just run away.
"No, no, no," said Sumner. "She doesn't even know anything about the streets. She's never been out, she's always been around me."
The subject is hard for many to talk about because they are afraid of the worst.
"Anybody could tell her anything and she would believe them," said Rutkowski. "She is a very gullible person. She would believe anything anybody told her."
The group is hanging up posters and organizing larger search parties.
They are reaching out to the community for help.
"Any help that we can get it will be greatly appreciated," said Rutkowski. "The more eyes the better."
"She's a very sweet person. She loves everyone and she'd be thanking them if it was for her," said Lisa Mullins, Cindy's friend.
The group is trying to be positive and has one message for Cindy: come home.
"Cindy, you know we're friends and I miss you. And if you're watching this, contact the news or the police because we miss you and we just want you to come home safe," said Emily Chapman, Cindy's friend.
Cindy is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds.
She has brown hair and hazel eyes.
She was last seen riding a green and white Huffy mountain bike near Jamie Farr Park.
