Former model who disappeared from Florida treatment center spotted in Alabama
A former model who suffers from mental health issues disappeared from a treatment facility in Pensacola, Fla., on Tuesday, according to WEAR in Pensacola.
Isabel Lawson, 24, was spotted on surveillance video at a Mobile gas station on Wednesday afternoon in the company of a homeless man. Pensacola police, her parents and an anti-trafficking group called The Shepherds have been searching for her since her Tuesday disappearance.
According to the WEAR report, The Shepherds made contact with the man, but he could not provide Lawson’s whereabouts.
Lawson’s parents, Anna and Lance Lawson, told the TV station their daughter has mental health issues and has been dealing with addiction for years, since she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a model, although they also said she’s been sober for six months.
She has been featured in fashion magazines both nationally and internationally, according to the report.
Isabel Lawson is described as 5-10, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her parents said she has no identification or cell phone with her, to their knowledge.
“She’s a beautiful, young girl, kind-hearted and vulnerable,” Anna Lawson told WEAR. “She would probably walk away with anyone.”
Anyone with information on Isabel Lawson’s location is asked to contact the Pensacola Police Department at 850-435-1900 or The Shepherds at 929-346-3663.
