Priest is believed to be driving this vehicle.

Authorities are currently asking for the public's help in locating a Mountain Home woman who has been missing since Saturday.

No foul play is suspected, according to Det. Clint Andrus.

"She did this once before in the '90s, and she was found four to five days later in Reno," Andrus said.

"Right now, we're asking people to support the Priest family," Andrus said, and help us try to find her and bring her home safely to her family."

The Elmore County Sheriff's Office received a call at about 8 p.m. Saturday from family members who said she had not come home from Camas Carpets in Mountain Home, the business she runs with her husband, Jef .

The family had last talked to her about 4 p.m. that day "and there didn't seem to be any problems," Andrus said.

She is described as a white female approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, 140 lbs. with brown hair and brown eys. She was last seen at her business in Mountain Home at around 5 p.m. on Dec. 13.

She is believed to be driving a 2006 Dodge Caravan, blue and grey in color with Idaho license plate E91015. The van has Camas Carpets magnetic signs on the side.

Authorities said she may be in route to Jackpot, Nev., and notification has been made to law enforcement agencies and media throughout the region.

If anyone has seen her or her vehicle they are asked to contact the Elmore County Sheriff's Office at 208-587-2100 and ask for Detective Andrus.
