A Florida woman went missing in Costa Rica after she went for her birthday and was riding in an unknown car, reports WFLA. Carla Stefaniak, 36, was due back Wednesday, the day after the return of her colleague and sister-in-law, but Stefaniak never made the plane. "She's totally gone, ghostly on her birthday, which does not look like her at all," said sister-in-law Antonieta, whose family name is reported in various ways in the media. "I'm scared of what I'm going to find." Now, the husband of Antonieta, who is Stefaniak's brother, went with a friend to find her. They spoke to security guards, an Uber driver and Airbnb owners, who say Stefaniak entered an unknown car on Wednesday morning, according to CBS Miami.
According to relatives, Stefaniak dropped off her sister-in-law on Tuesday, returned their rental car and made an hour-long trip to San Jose in Uber. That night, she wrote that the rain was strong and the current was intermittent. His latest text: "This is pretty basic here," according to QCostaRica. Police investigators confirm that he left his room with his luggage around 5 am Wednesday morning. Her social media accounts went quiet, with her latest post on Instagram showing her on holiday Monday. Antonieta said she informed the Miami FBI, the US Embassy and the office of Senator Marco Rubio, and that she had created a GoFundMe page to pay the search fees. "She was so happy to have been lucky," says Antonieta. "I'm just scared that she's too confident with someone there." (Read more stories about Costa Rica.)
