Airport officials describe the young woman as being 5-foot-6 and 180 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a black Starbucks-branded polo shirt, black shoes and blue jeans, according to The News & Observer.
An RDU spokesperson noted that Cope drives a silver 2014 Ford Fusion, with North Carolina plates that read EHA 2271. Additionally, the car’s back window features a “Change of Heart Pit Bull Rescue” sticker.
It has not been disclosed if she drove away in her car, though it is also missing. Additionally, her security badge was used to exit the parking lot at 3:10 pm on Monday.
The 24-year-old’s roommate told reporters that security footage caught the Ford Fusion leaving the lot, but it is still unknown who was driving.
