WASHINGTON, Iowa – A missing Iowa businesswoman's car has been found near St. Louis, Missouri but the 45-year-old still hasn't been located.

The Washington County Sheriff's office said Sunday that Sharon Ruth Hopf's 1999 white Chevy Lumina had been found. Investigators are searching the car for clues that might lead to Hopf.

The Crawfordsville woman was reported missing Thursday after she didn't show up for work at a home furnishings company she owns in Kalona.

Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is asked to contact the the Washington County Sheriff’s Department at 319-653-2107 or 1-800-TIPS-492.

“”WASHINGTON, Iowa – The search continues for missing Crawfordsville resident Sharon Ruth Hopf, who disappeared Thursday.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reports search parties were on patrol again today, on the ground and in the air, for the 45-year old woman, but no further information has unfolded.

According to a news release, Hopf was last seen at 8:30 a.m. at a BP gas station in Washington. She is driving a 1999 white Chevy Lumina sedan with Iowa plates (419WXF).

Reports show she failed to show up for work at Hopf Home Furnishings in Kalona.””

Once they find the car hundreds of miles from where she disappeared, it hardly ever turns out well. That sucks.

I know nothing about this matter but what are the chances she recently a) filed for divorce, b) separated from a boyfriend or, c) took out a restraining order?
