Police are asking the public to continue to keep an eye out for a deaf Sioux Falls woman who's been missing since Wednesday.

Darlene Vandegriesen was last seen leaving work around six Wednesday night. Her car was found Friday in a Pizza Hut parking lot. She's five foot five, between 200 and 250 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. Vandegrisen is in her 40s. If you have any information on where she might be, please call the police.
 
Still Looking For Missing Woman

No one's seen her since Wednesday. And Monday morning, Darlene VanderGiesen didn't show up for work for the third day now.

It's been five days since the 42-year-old deaf Sioux Falls woman was last seen leaving work at JDS Industries on W. 3rd St. at 6:00 p.m.

"Missing posters" featuring Darlene VanderGiesen hang on gas station bulletin boards. No one's seen her in almost a week, and that has police concerned.

"At this point, we're asking for some help from the public if anyone has seen her or knows anything about her," says Sioux Falls Police Chief Doug Barthel.

Particularly, the police could use help from anyone who ate at Pizza Hut on 26th and Sycamore last Wednesday evening. Her car was found in that parking lot.

"It was actually noticed by the employees there on that night, but we didn't receive information she was gone until Friday," Barthel says.

The fact that VanderGiesen is deaf might help identify her, especially if she did eat at Pizza Hut that night.

"They might have noticed somebody communicating with sign language or something of that sort on that evening," Barthel says.

Police found her car locked and nothing looked suspicious. As for how they found her apartment, "Everything was in order, but she left pets behind that were unattended, didn't make any contact with friends or relatives, which is very unlike her," Barthel says.

And police are hopeful they will find her well.

"We don't have anything to indicate there's foul play at this point," Barthel says. "On the other hand, we haven't ruled that out either."

VanderGiesen is 5'5", between 200 and 250 pounds and has short brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a black and gray flannel shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes.

If you have any information, call the Sioux Falls police at 367-7000.
