(WWJ) -- The search continues for an elderly St. Clair County woman who has been missing for nearly three weeks.

Authorities say 84-year-old Nadine Moses of Casco Township went missing from her home in the early morning hours of May 4 and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Moses was reportedly driving a dark blue 2011 Ford Edge with Michigan handicap license plate No. C8932.

Police and citizens have been searching for Moses since she went missing, while a statewide and nationwide BOL (be on the lookout) was issued. She was also entered into the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN).

Authorities say at the time she went missing, she had a full tank of gas and $50. She has not used her debit or credit cards since her disappearance.

Authorities thought they had a break in the case last Wednesday when the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from a drone operator regarding what he believed to be a vehicle submerged in the St. Clair River near Algonac State Park. Divers responded to the area and located the item, which turned out to be a pile of logs.

The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office says Moses’s cell phone data was retrieved and indicated she may have been driving from about 2:15 a.m. on May 4 until 9:15 a.m. later that same day in the general areas of Ira, Casco, Cottrellville, China and East China Townships and Marine City.

She was believed to be in the M-29 area near Marine City at about 5:15 a.m. that day.

Authorities believe her vehicle was spotted on two surveillance cameras in the early morning hours of May 4 as she was headed northbound on M-29, passing the Marine City Police Department. She then turned east on Fairbanks, but police are unsure where the vehicle headed after that.

Since her disappearance, Deputies and local law enforcement agencies have been checking turnouts, state game areas, businesses and other locations where a vehicle might be located, but not noticed.

A check was also made on all open riverbank and open water entry points.  A search of the St. Clair River and Belle River was also made by air and sonar with no sign of the vehicle.

Michigan State Police reviewed Moses’s cell phone data on May 8 and conducted a flyover of an extensive area, based on pings to her phone or cell tower data provided, but have still seen no signs of the woman or her vehicle.

The sheriff’s office is asking the public to remain on the lookout.

“Check your property, especially if you have a separate lane leading to an isolated area of your land,” officials said in a statement.
