North Carolina authorities are searching for a missing Wilmington woman who may have thrown out her cellphone in fear of someone tracking her.
According to the Wilmington Police Department, 43-year-old Kristin Glass has not been seen or heard from since October 5. She was last seen at Topsail Beach, according to a missing persons flyer shared on social media.
On Monday, authorities found her cellphone off of the side of the road, behind a trashcan at Topsail Beach, Port City Daily reports. Topsail Beach Police Chief Samuel Gervase told the outlet that authorities believe she threw her phone from a car window because she thought she was being tracked via her phone’s GPS.
Gervase didn’t specify if he knew who would be following her.

Gervase also said security footage captured Glass alone inside a Wilmington bank at 3 p.m. She didn’t appear distressed. Around 45 minutes, a property owner at Topsail Beach found the woman’s cellphone.
According to Heavy, Glass’ boyfriend, Scott Wick, called her phone but “it was answered by a man who said he found it at around 3:30/4 p.m. behind a garbage can in the south end of Topsail.”
