Stephanie Parze is a missing New Jersey artist who vanished from her Freehold Township home. She had recently visited a medium.
Family, friends, and authorities are making a major push for information about what happened to Parze. Making the case even more baffling, Stephanie’s car and cell phone were found at her home, according to Fox News. However, the young artist has vanished without a trace. A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family search for Parze. “This latest crisis has taken place at a time when the family has already been struggling,” the page says.
“She would never go out of the house without her phone,” said her mother Sharlene Parze to News12. “And she was supposed to be at work and she never showed up. Everything is just not her. You know, and I had just left her. And she was supposed to text me when she got home and she never did, but we know that she made it home because her car was in the driveway.”
