(WWJ) The Clinton Township and West Palm Beach Police departments are working together to find a missing Macomb County woman.
Chelsea Bonnell, 30, worked a shift as an exotic dancer at Legends Detroit, before purchasing a one-way plane ticket to Miami on May 24.
Her family believes that she went to Florida to find work, after she's said that the Detroit club hadn't been very busy lately.
Since Bonnell's arrival in Florida, her cell phone and social media accounts have been disconnected.
Bonnell's mother, Michelle Clauw, said her daughter's last confirmed sighting was at a Publix in Jupiter, Florida, two days after she arrived in Miami.
"They were able to actually have camera footage of her in the supermarket, alone, buying food that was very, very minimal; maybe some lunchmeat and a drink," Clauw told WWJ's Amanda Forrester. "'She then did leave Publix in Jupiter and headed out to the parking lot."

After that, Clauw said there is no more camera footage. They don't know whether Bonnell got into a vehicle at that point, or where she may have headed on foot.
Bonnell's credit card was last used on June 2, but there's no confirmation on whether she was the one who used it.
Clauw said their last phone conversation was fairly ordinary.
"She seemed OK," Clauw said. "She had just been working, and it's not unusual for us to not have a whole lot of contact; maybe two or three weeks sometimes with her schedule at work. She's a fitness girl, too, so she's at the gym a ton."
Clauw said it's very unusual, however, for Chelsea to go this long without speaking to anyone in the family — and that's why everyone is so worried about her.
On Monday, Clauw was down in West Palm Beach with a couple family members looking for clues.
Anyone with information on Bonnell's whereabouts should call the Clinton Township Police at 586-439-7800, or email Lt. Mike Larkin atlarkinm@clintontownship-mi.gov.
