A young woman from Oakley has been missing for ten days now, and as the search continues, family and friends have put up billboards in the area where she went missing.
Alexis Gabe, 24, is an Asian American woman who hasn't been in a week and a half.
The last known wearabouts of Gabe was at a former boyfriend's house around 9 p.m. on Wednesday evening last week. Gabe, is 5-foot-7 and 170 pounds and was last seen wearing a white tank top under a silver and black hooded sweatshirt, with black pants and green and white shoes, as previously reported by KCBS Radio.
Her car was found in a residential neighborhood in Oakley, with the keys still in the ignition.
Since then, her family, using GoFundMe, has raised around $10,000 to make flyers, support family and volunteers, and put up four electronic billboards throughout Antioch and East Contra Costa County.
Oakley police are investigating, and so far, have served a search warrant at a house in Antioch where officers collected items, including a vacuum cleaner.
But despite having located Gabe's car, police still haven't located certain items that Gabe had on her person the day she went missing.
"We haven't found her phone, also her purse that she had that day, it's like a forest green, it’s a shoulder bag," said Morgan Strenfel, Alexis' bother Gwyn Gabe's girlfriend.
Her phone has been going straight to voicemail. The last time her phone pinged was somewhere in the vicinity of her car in Oakley, said Strenfel.
Based on the circumstances and the statements from the family police are treating the case as suspicious.
Gwyn Gabe, Alexis' brother, said he and his brother and parents are holding out hope. "It's been pretty rough," he said. "It's just getting harder and harder."
The Oakley Police Department has called Gabe’s case a "top priority," as previously reported by KCBS Radio.
"The Oakley Police Department has been in regular contact with Alexis's family and we applaud their efforts to keep Alexis’s situation in the forefront of the community’s conversation," the department wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.
The Oakley Police Department is asking for any "credible" sightings of Gabe to be reported by calling 925-625-8060.
