A woman went missing since she allegedly was last seen visiting her boyfriend in North Carolina over a week ago, ABC News reported Wednesday.

Allisha Dene Watts, 39, was last seen on July 16 with her boyfriend of one year, who lived in Charlotte, Watts’ sister Stephanie Johnson said, according to the ABC News report. Watts, who lived in Moore County, was reportedly planning to see a comedy show at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte in the company of her cousin Gwendolyn Utley but did not show up, prompting Utley to report Watts’ disappearance to the police, per ABC.

Watts’ boyfriend was reportedly Utley’s neighbor, and the couple met when Watts visited Utley in Charlotte, the outlet noted.

Watts was last seen on July 16 in her black 2023 Mercedes Benz GLC 300, leaving a residence in Charlotte and possibly heading towards Moore County, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) said in a statement Monday.

Utley said Watts’ boyfriend lived in that residence, per the news report. Utley was returning with her family from church when she saw Watts and her boyfriend emerging from the home and entering the car, according to ABC News footage of Utley’s interview with the outlet. Utley added that she expected Watts to show up later for the comedy show, but she never did.

“My cousin was a dedicated person. She would never not show up to her job. So when Monday approached and she never showed up to her job and her employer started calling, we knew for a fact it was something wrong,” Utley added in the ABC interview.

Watts’ vehicle was located on July 18 in Anson County, according to the police statement. Anson County is about 50 miles southeast of Charlotte.

Watts’ purse was found in her car, and her phone was found at her boyfriend’s house, Johnson said, per ABC. “She’s out there somewhere. Every day that passes by, we are less likely to bring her home safe,” Johnson reportedly said.

“Somebody knows something, and we want them to come forward,” James Johnson, CEO of the Racial Justice Network, said, while also criticizing the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police’s handling of the case.

The police are conducting “an active and ongoing investigation” and soliciting the public’s assistance, according to the CMPD’s tweets on the matter.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
