Police were searching a wooded area in Hollywood Wednesday in connection with the disappearance of a young woman while she was out walking.

Aerial footage showed multiple officers searching through Anne Kolb Nature Center, where 21-year-old Noemi Bolivar may have been last seen.

Family and friends said Bolivar left her home on Feb. 11 to take a walk at the nature center, texting her roommate a photo from there.

Volunteers have been searching all throughout Hollywood, passing out flyers for days.

Family members said Bolivar looks very young and they described her as sweet but naive, and said they're worried she could have been a victim of human trafficking.

Bolivar's parents say she is a high-functioning person with autism and is on Adderal after she was diagnosed with ADHD.

Family members described her as very bright, with a major in wildlife ecology from Brigham Young University. But they’re worried someone could have abducted her.

“This is totally out of character to think that she would get up and leave," her mother, Marycel, said.

Anyone with information about her disappearance is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
