See snips below from article (emphasis added, mine) - which says a police officer contacted her by phone Monday night and found her to be disoriented. Sounds like there is definitely interest by PD behind the scenes.
Also, friends and family conveying some specific comments she made during the disjointed phone calls, and that her problems seemed to commence after meeting with a "colleague." I sure would want to speak with that colleague and find out more about that encounter! I'm tending more toward the possibility she was given or took something that induced this episode.
It also gives info on what is happening with regard to areas searched, planned to search over the weekend, etc.
Sure hope she is found very soon in good condition!
My apologies if I post more from this article than I should - I found it very informative...

Attempts to locate her through “find my phone” apps and other digital search tools have been unsuccessful. During the phone calls with family members Monday night, Valenti said she was low on gas.
With a request from the family, a San Jose police officer contacted Valenti by phone Monday night.
“The officer said she wasn’t making any sense. They drove around looking for her on Monday night and never found her,” Valenti’s husband, Harrison Weinstein, said.
When reached by email Saturday, San Jose Police Sgt. Enrique Garcia didn’t explain the department’s approach to the case, saying only that

During her trip to California the week of Oct. 1, the couple spoke each night, he said, and everything was fine. She stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Beach for an executive leadership workshop called “Create the Powerful,” and on Thursday flew to San Jose and rented the Nissan. She drove to a tech conference in Monterey late in the week before returning last weekend to the Bay Area
to reconnect with old friends and colleagues.
Nothing seemed amiss until she called her parents about 3:30 p.m. on Monday
after she met with a former colleague on Sand Hill Road, and said she couldn’t find her rental car. Once she found the car, she stayed on the phone with her parents, her conversation became bizarre.
