A Farmersville man is pleading for help to find his wife.
The family of Hermalinda "Linda" Lara says the mother of three vanished Tuesday morning after she drove away from the family's Farmersville home. She left behind her wallet, purse and cell phone. Her husband and children, 21, 17, 5 were at home.
Farmersville police said they've been working with the family to try and find the most likely explanation as to why Lara left. Lara's husband, Efrain Lara, said his wife left so early Tuesday morning that he wasn't even able to let police know what she was wearing.
Hermalinda Lara, 43, also took the family's only car, making it hard for the family to search. They've taken to walking the streets of Farmersville and nearby Exeter in hopes of finding a clue.
"She was on medicine and then the pharmacy just stopped filling it. Two months with no medicine," Efrain Lara said. "She loved to help people and we want to help her."
Efrain and Hermalinda have been married 28 years.
Family and friends have been placing fliers across the county in hopes that someone will spot Lara and call police. They've walked ditches and fields and plan to check canals in the area.
"We are very concerned. This is not like her to just leave without telling anyone," said Roxanna Cazaras, one of the missing woman's best friends. "She has medical issues and we want to get her back home safely."
Farmersville Lt. Jay Brock said family didn't contact police until later Tuesday, because they expected Lara would be back shortly after leaving. It wasn't until they realized she'd left many of her items behind that their concerns grew.
She battled severe depression, the family said.
"She's had some issues, but nothing we can tie to her going missing," Brock said. "It's one of those unknown circumstances where she didn't make any statements that would have led people to believe she was going to leave."
Police and those searching for her say she likely left in the family's black 1998 Nissan Altima. The license plate is 7CDB898.
Anyone with information is asked to call Farmersville Police Department at 747-0321.
