AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Austin Police Department is working to help locate a missing 35-year-old woman who was separated from her twin sister after a night out downtown earlier this month.

APD said it received a request from the Downtown Austin Alliance to help locate Elizabeth Spalding, 35. She's described as 5'5" and 120 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes.

The DAA sent a press release saying that according to family sources, Elizabeth and her twin sister were last known to be in downtown Austin the night of Saturday, May 4, and may have been in local bars or nightclubs. 

According to the release, at some point they were at St David’s Hospital emergency room but were released around 4 a.m. Sunday, May 5.  

Elizabeth’s sister arrived home later that morning but has no recollection of Elizabeth’s whereabouts or how or when she and Elizabeth were separated.

Elizabeth is still missing, with no leads on her whereabouts, according to the DAA.

If anyone sees Elizabeth, they should call 911 and reference APD case number 24-5011533. People with information on her whereabouts can contact the APD Missing Person Unit at 512-974-5250.
