Volunteers help family continue search for missing Belle Isle mother of 3

BELLE ISLE, Fla. — Dozens of people were out early Sunday morning, looking for a mother in Belle Isle who hasn’t been seen in more than a week.

Stephanie Hollingsworth, 50, is a mother of three who was last seen on surveillance video at the Bank of America on Hoffner Avenue and Goldenrod Road, 9 days ago.

Hollingsworth was last seen wearing a black shirt and gray or black pants.

Searchers gathered outside the Walmart on Goldenrod Road and maps of the area were handed out to volunteers who then split up to check the surrounding area.

The missing mother or her vehicle, a 2000 champagne-colored Chevy Tahoe, could hold a lot of clues.

Hollingsworth’s brother Chad Chitwood said the missing Tahoe was a big focus of the search on Sunday.

The Belle Isle Chief of Police said officers are not ruling out the fact that Hollingsworth could have left on her own. They said she left her cellphone at home and her tag hasn’t been spotted.

But they aren’t ruling out foul play, either.

Anyone who sees her is asked to notify Belle Isle police by calling the Orange County Sheriff’s Office at 407-836-4357 or 911.
