Her husband is pleading for the public to help find her. “Stephanie... we are looking for you, your family loves you more than ever. We don’t know what’s going on but we’re going to find you.... just know that," said Scott Hollingsworth.

Scott says the mother of three boys would never leave her children.

“At this point, we have to suspect the worst... I’m asking for everybody’s help to do everything they can to find her," said Scott. “Understand that this woman... Stephanie, my wife of 25 years is in trouble and we need to get her back to her family, her children.”

Her Facebook page:

Stephanie Hollingsworth (Her most recent public post was in Jul 2020, her husband has posted her missing information in the most recent post)


I read her Facebook back to 2008. She has lots of photos of herself, her husband, and her 3 boys. She talks about a daughter being gone (miscarriage?). Every year on her wedding anniversary, she posts about being married (now over 20+ years, and they have known each other longer than that. She posted their wedding photo on almost every anniversary. I saw lots of normal family life. Stephanie has been quoting scripture more often in recent times, talks about being healthy and the hard work involved in that, so I did wonder what had changed. She recently was in an aerial yoga class! She also changed her hair color from bleached blonde to close to her natural brown.

IMO, I didn't see any red flags except for the hard change to healthy living, the increase of quoted scripture, and the wedding photos every year. None of these seemed worrisome on their own, so they may have no bearing on her being missing. I sure hope she can be found soon.

Some people who are experiencing increased worry, fear or depression take great comfort in scripture. I wonder what prompted her recent efforts to exercise more? It is interesting to read that her husband is making statements as if he is appealing to someone who left on purpose. If my loved one just disappeared I wouldn’t think that they ran away. I would be worried that they might have had an auto accident or other emergency. But that’s just me.
Unless she completes wiped out the bank account, stopping by the ATM seems like a perfectly normal thing to do on a Friday. I wonder if any surveillance cameras near ATM caught a picture of who used the card and \or anyone hanging around waiting for her to come out with some cash.
 
I thought this was informative:

Previous news articles had mentioned that that cell phone was left home, but this was the first that I had seen that surveillance showed that Stephanie was alone. I sure hope Stephanie can be found quickly, as she has already been missing for one and a half weeks.

From this article :

Hollingsworth, 50, was last seen at noon on September 25 at her home on Monet Avenue, police said.

She took her purse and left behind her cell phone, leaving in a 2000 Silver Chevrolet Tahoe with this Florida plate: Y50XUR

She withdrew $20 from a Bank of America at Hoffner Avenue and Goldenrod Road at 1:53 p.m. Friday. Then she vanished, leaving no trail to follow.
 
Hi I live in Orlando area that tahoe should be easy to spot if it was out there since it was an older model it would be easy to notice it since she left the phone she either forgot it or didn't intend to be gone that long I never leave without it in case something happens I hope she is found safe and back with her family soon !!
 
I leave my phone at home all the time, much to the consternation of my husband but that's usually for short jaunts. Coupled with the other issues, mental health problems, subtle hints from the husband that home life isn't good right now and an increased interest in quoting scripture, it's possible she is intent on self harm.
 
This doesn't sound good. My first thought was car accident/off the road/water. Further reading moves that down the list, along with leaving her phone behind.

I hope she returns safely. I think so many people are really struggling right now. We live in strange scary times, imo.
