"It is very unlike her to not contact anyone, that’s why there’s a concern for her safety right now and a concern that she had a broken collarbone," her mother told Sacramento's FOX 40 after the daughter went missing.
"Her children miss her terribly and it's been a very, very painful thing for my family every day," she added.
