“We do not believe foul play is involved in any of this,” Mace said.

Mace said there have been no leads on the case as of June 16.

“We’ve brought search dogs, cadaver dogs, we’ve used drones a Global Positioning System tracker, 20 to 30 people on foot, horseback, and ATV’s,” Mace said.

The department is asking people to keep an eye out for Vigil. An alert has been issued and she is entered into the National Crime Information Center, or NCIC, database.

Vigil is 5’ 6”, approximately 120 pounds with brown eyes. She was last seen wearing Capri spandex pants and a light-grayish-green tank top.
