On Aug. 9, Jane Milota, a 53-year-old mother of an adult son who has autism, dropped him off around 7:30 a.m. at his job in Westfield Center, Ohio. Soon after, she disappeared.
Jane’s car, a brown Buick Enclave bearing the license plate number HCA7418, remains missing.
“She didn’t entrust nobody if she meant to do this, so if she didn’t mean to do this, anything could have happened,” Warren Milota, the missing woman’s husband, toldNews5 Cleveland.

Her husband says she also withdrew $1,000 with an ATM card two days before she vanished, but that didn’t strike him as odd. “She paid cash for everything,” he toldWOIO.
What did strike him as odd: “She told somebody at work that her hip hurt, and she had hip cancer but didn’t want to tell me because she didn’t want me to worry,” he said, according to the outlet.
“We have checked with hospitals and airlines; there has been no activity involving Jane,” the agency said on its official Facebook page.
“I just feel helpless,” Warren Milota told News5 Cleveland. “I need to find my wife. That’s the only thing. I need to find my wife even if she would call and say she’s okay. That would be fine. I just need to find her.”

“We’re scared. We’re nervous. We want her back. We miss her a lot,” Milota’s coworker Angela Cole told theAkron Beacon Journal. “It’s very hard for me. I wake up wondering, ‘Jane are you going to come back today?'”
Her 26-year-old son wonders the same thing, according to Jane’s husband.
“He just thinks mom’s not home yet so it’s a good place to be right now until we get this resolved,” said Warren, reports News5 Cleveland.
Police ask anyone with information about the whereabouts of Milota or her vehicle to call 330-723-5191.
