Deputies Searching For Mother Of Two Who Vanished

Posted: 5:37 pm EST November 16, 2006

The Polk County Sheriff's Office is searching for a Davenport woman who disappeared and left behind her two small children.

Investigators said Gretchen Morales was last seen around 9 o'clock Wednesday night at her home.

When Morales' babysitter showed up Thursday morning, she was gone, but her 6- and 2-year-old children were alone, asleep in the house.

Morales was scheduled to go to work Thursday at Lifetouch Photography in Orlando, but she never showed up.

If you have any information about Gretchen Morales, contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
