Cops searching for Nicole Mittendorff below are scrambling to dispel online rumors that's she's pregnant, whilst appealing for the public's help in finding the missing woman.
The 31-year-old firefighting paramedic disappeared in her home state of Virgina over a week ago, and hasn't been seen or heard from since reportedly sending her family a text message on or about April 13, 2016.
During that time, would be rescuers discovered Mittendorff's vehicle, a 2009 cream-colored Mini Cooper, abandoned at Shenandoah National Park.
That expansive wilderness area is said to be a favorite of the athletic blonde who regularly jogs its trails when in training for triathlon events.
Law enforcement agencies equipped with K9s have been scouring the park for Mittendorff or clues to her whereabouts, particularly in the vicinity of White Oak Canyon trail, but haven't found anything.In fact, at this hour, five trailways -- Limberlost, Cedar Run, Cedar Run Link, Crescent Rocks and White Oak -- are "closed off" as the air and ground search widens considerably today.
In the meantime, speculation about Mittendorff's marriage to a State Police employee -- who allegedly delayed for two days in reporting her gone -- and a 'bogus' new baby registry, has emerged to confound an already odd missing persons case.
The missing woman's husband, however, is not considered a suspect in her thus-far unexplained disappearance, since investigators "do not suspect foul play" yet.
Rumor-mongering over Nicole Mittendorff's fate has understandably begun reaching epic proportions these past few days, amid an otherwise glaring lack of verified info about when, where and how she actually fell off the radar this month.
Anxious relatives insist it's totally atypical behavior for her, and further described their missing loved one as "responsible" and a "dedicated" Fairfax County first-responder who's rarely ever missed a day of work in her adult life.
As that appears to be true, both state and federal authorities are now jointly trying to ascertain what really did happen to Ms. Mittendorff in mid April, who, it's recently been revealed, "called in sick" just shortly before vanishing without a trace.
According to the "Find Nicole" Facebook group, on that very same day she also "downloaded" some mysterious documents "to her cell phone," the contents of which are currently being examined with "cooperation" from her wireless provider.
