Chance sighting of missing Littleton, Colorado woman?
Her brother, Eric Horvat, had shared earlier that he last spoke to her the day she went missing.
‘Never, never did we ever think that she would be gone, and we don’t know where, where she’s at,’ the sibling told Denver7. ‘She was supposed to be going to Silverthorne to look at the factory shops on Sunday.’
Eric shared with the news outlet that he later received a call from Lang’s employer saying that she hadn’t shown up to work the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and no one had heard from her.
Lang’s family and co-workers said it is out of character for her not to answer their messages and to miss work without notice.
‘Maybe her car is somewhere off of off the road, somewhere that anybody traveling this weekend would have saw it,’ he told Denver7.
‘That was the last communication we had. My aunt and her talk every single day. Me and her, every couple days. So, for my aunt not to hear from her, it’s very, very suspicious.’
Horvat told 9 News that his family was contacted by someone who said they might have seen his sister’s vehicle driving from Breckenridge to Keystone on Highway 6 on Wednesday night, November 27- three days after she had failed to turn up after saying she was going shopping.
The Park County Sheriff’s Office to date has yet to provide an update on Jayna Lang’s status.
