Police in Ada County are searching for a Star woman who was last seen leaving her Idaho home Monday.

Ada County sheriff’s deputies are looking for Deborah Hendrichs, 56. At around 9 a.m. Monday, Hendrichs turned off her cellphone and left in a black 2012 Toyota RAV4, license plate DCU94, according to tweets from the Sheriff’s Office.

She left without taking her purse, warm clothes or essential medications, concerning family members, authorities said. Hendrichs’ family told police that she may have driven into the mountains, but they were not sure where.
