Forsyth County authorities continued searching today for a woman who disappeared under suspicious circumstances Thursday morning.
Patrice Tamber Endres, 38, was reported missing by her co-workers about 11:45 a.m. after they could not find her at the Tambers Trim and Tan in Cumming where she had been at work all morning.
Sheriff's Capt. Frank Huggins said the door to the shop was left unlocked and the lights were on.
Investigators found "evidence she was preparing her lunch in a back room of the building," Sheriff Ted Paxton said.
Paxton said money had been removed from the cash register, which was standing open when officers arrived. He said the woman's purse had been opened and "gone through," and her wallet removed.
Endres is a 5-4 white woman, weighing 125 pounds with dark, shoulder-length hair with red highlights. She was last seen wearing a pink short sleeve shirt, green pants , pink shoes and a green jacket.
The woman's former husband, Don Black, described Endres as a "workaholic" and said the shop was her life.
