Her family says it feels like a bad dream, or a scene from a movie.
Linnette Tyson, grandmother of Stephanie's four-month-old daughter: "When it happens to you it seems unreal."
Moriah King, Stephanie's mother: "It's very scary, very scary."
But the reality is sinking in for family and friends of Stephanie Eldredge, 21, mother of three, missing since Monday.
King: "Her shoes are here, her keys are here, her car is here, all her credit cards, everything's here but she's not."
What may be the most disturbing part of this missing person case is that those items weren't the only things left behind.
Tyson: "Yesterday about a quarter after 12:00p I came home, found my granddaughter here by herself, she's four months old."
Her four-month-old daughter, unattended, but luckily, unharmed.
King: "She doesn't even leave her baby when she leaves the room."
Tyson: "She would not do it intentionally, no way."
Stephanie's loved ones have been passing out flyers, going door to door of businesses around town, trying to get the word out, hoping for the best, but wondering how this could have happened.
King: "There's not one day that goes by I don't talk to her more than once."
Stephanie's boyfriend checked her cell phone record, but no calls have been made since her disappearance.
Mike Jimenez, Stephanie's boyfriend: "She's got three kids she needs to take care of, a brand new one, we just miss her, we love her, we'd like her to come home."
Tyson: "If somebody has her, please think about what you're doing and know that she's loved and needed."
King: "If somebody's hurt her, please let her go."
Stephanie is on probation for drug charges, and had been going through drug court, but her family says she is a good mother who would never just disappear and leave her children home alone.
The family asks anyone with information on the whereabouts of Stephanie Eldredge to call crimestoppers at 522-1983.
