Deputies are looking for a Hillsborough County woman “missing under suspicious circumstances.”
According to the sheriff’s office, Dana Boshell’s family reported her missing on October 22.
Gloria Barich said she usually talked to Boshell, 38, every few days but no one in the family has seen or heard from her since the Fourth of July.
Barich said Boshell spent the day at her brother's house in Orlando with a male friend.
The Hillsborough County sheriff's office says that friend said they drove back to Boshell’s place in Tampa and he dropped her off.
"She has a very active checking account, banking account that has not been touched, zero activity since July 4th which is extremely unusual for her,” said HCSO spokesperson Larry McKinnon. “We know that in her apartment, all her clothes were there, all her personal belongings were there so it appears she's just plainly dropped off the face of the earth."
Barich said it's not like her daughter to disappear. She said at first they thought she might just be staying with friends but as time passed, they grew more concerned.
"It's just that mother's instinct that tells me something is wrong here because if she hadn't called me in three days I would go ‘Dana hasn't called me. There's something unusual here," she said.
Barich said not knowing where her daughter is or whether she's ok is tough.
"We miss her and we love her. You know it's a horrible feeling not to know where your child is. Your child becomes a piece of you the minute you have a child so I would just ask that someone please come forward and help us here,” Barich said.
Barich said her daughter had been working as a bartender at different restaurants in the Tampa area and she was hoping to finish her degree at USF.
Her last known place of residence was in Courtney Palms, according to deputies.
Boshell is described as 5'5", 120 lbs., with brown eyes and brown hair.
