Police are still searching for a Florida mother last seen boarding a Greyhound bus headed for Tampa.
Erica Ann Johnson, 36, was reported missing by her family on July 14, six days after she was last captured on surveillance footage at a bus station.
Johnson boarded a bus in Cape Coral, Fla., on July 8, with a suitcase, travel pillow and pet bunny in tow. The bus was headed to Tampa.
“LeeTran surveillance video showed Ms. Johnson at the Cape Coral bus station located at SE 47th Terrace on July 5th at approximately 5:37 p.m. and again at 5:21 a.m. on July 8th leaving with a suitcase,” officers said.
Leading up to her disappearance, Johnson’s ex-husband said she skipped out on an appointment back in June to meet her children, due to work obligations. Nonetheless, missing out on seeing her children was reportedly unusual, according to her ex-husband.
Johnson worked as a housekeeper at the Best Western Plus Beach resort in Fort Meyers Beach, Florida.
Cape Coral police said there have so far been no signs of foul play. Johnson lives a different lifestyle where she has no phone, no vehicle, and no bank account.
A friend said, “She died her hair dark around July 4. The next day, she went to work, but said she was sick. I saw her get a ride from a co-worker to a bus stop that afternoon.”
Johnson’s mother said, “Erica is loved and missed by her family and friends who are devastated by her disappearance. We remain hopeful that she will be found safe very soon.”
Johnson is approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 130 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.
Anyone with information regarding her disappearance is urged to contact CCPD at (239) 242-3320.
