Wylie Police are investigating the disappearance of a local woman.
Melonie Ballenger’s face can now be found on flyers around her hometown, but it’s been days since anyone’s seen the mother of two in person.
“I miss her,” said her husband, Daniel Ballenger.
He says he went to bed with Melonie late Sunday. When he woke Monday morning, she was gone. Left behind were her phone, her car, and medications critical to her health.
“She left with nothing… cash, credit card, wallet, ID…,” said Daniel.
The pair have two young daughters, who he says are now worried for their mother.
“Everybody’s really concerned about her,” said pastor Blake Switzer at Gateway Community Church, where the family attends. The church held a vigil Tuesday night.
“There were maybe a couple hundred people that showed up on Election Night, which is crazy to me, but just because they care and wanted to come and pray.”
Wylie police say the last confirmed sighting of Melonie was at Walmart on Saturday. They’re working to retrace her steps since then.
