SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- A Seminole County man spent Christmas searching for his wife.

Friends said Sandra Lyons walked off during a party Saturday at a friend's home in Oviedo after an argument with her husband, Chris Myers. Moments later, Myers tried to catch up but said he never found her.

Since then, family and friends say no one has heard from her. Myers said his wife left without any money, her ID, or even a sweater.

"I woke up this morning just hoping she'd walk in the door," Myers said.

Deputies have searched the area with a helicopter after search dogs tracked her scent half a mile away to a secluded picnic area.
