South Florida Woman Disappears After Houston Trip
12 Dec
Summary
- Gena Sims, 28, last heard from after a flight to Miami
- Her phone went straight to voicemail, texts unanswered.
- A cryptic 'emergency' text preceded her disappearance.
Gena Sims, a 28-year-old South Florida resident, has been missing for almost a week, prompting an urgent appeal from her mother. Sims was last believed to have arrived at Miami International Airport last Friday after a trip to Houston. Her family has been unable to contact her, as her phone goes directly to voicemail and she has not responded to messages.
Family members noted that Sims' social media has been inactive since her disappearance. A final text message from her phone, sent last Friday night, mentioned an "emergency" and a "change of plans," a message her mother believes was not sent by Gena and does not sound like her.
Sims is recognized in the community for founding the Autism Theater Project, inspired by her younger sister who is on the autism spectrum. She also works as a home health nurse and is a known singer. Her family is pleading for anyone with information to come forward to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.
