San Diego police are asking for the public's help in finding a missing 37-year-old retired Army captain who served two tours in Iraq.
Julia Jacobson, 37, was last heard from on Sept. 2 at about 9:30 p.m. when she texted a friend saying she was in Palm Springs, SDPD officers said. Her actual location was unknown.
On Thursday, authorities found her company car abandoned in the 2600 block of Monroe Avenue in University Heights, east of Texas Street and near Interstate 8 and 805. The location is about half a mile away from her home.
Her family told NBC 7 the car was found with the windows rolled down and the keys still in the ignition.
Her family is extremely concerned about her because she has never gone missing in the past, police said.
Prior to going missing, she called her father every day to talk. When her father had not heard from her, he started searching for her.
Jacobson was last seen alone at the corporate 7/11 offices in her company car on Aero Drive.
