According to a statement issued by MCSO, witnesses reported seeing Martyn yelling for help before she went missing.
Deputies located Martyn’s vehicle abandoned on the side of the road in the Rainbow Park Estates area later on Wednesday. Her phone and wallet were both left behind inside the vehicle.
