Family website: Bring Amy Home

Newsnation <snipped>
(NewsNation) — Mother, wife and business owner Amy Hillyard disappeared on March 25, leaving her friends and family unsettled and hoping that someone will be able to help bring her home.
Chris Hillyard replays the last time he saw his wife over and over again.
“The constant unknowingness of where my wife is, my best friend, my partner, it’s unbearable,” he said. “Every morning I wake up and the nightmare starts over again.”

The morning of March 25 was an ordinary day for the couple, who had been together for 25 years. They had breakfast at their home and Hillyard said he dropped his wife off at the train station for a therapy appointment.

She texted him just before 2 p.m., and neighbors say they also spoke to her while she was out walking her dog in the Cleveland Heights neighborhood of Oakland, California, that afternoon.

But when Hillyard came home just before 3 p.m., he knew something was wrong.

“I noticed that the back door was open and the dog was out of its crate, which was surprising, and her belongings were on the counter in the kitchen,” he said. “So I knew something was wrong at that point and I searched the house, I talked to neighbors, and then I went, started searching the neighborhood and then called OPD to file a missing persons report.”

Her husband appears to be genuinely concerned about her. My immediate assumption is something caused her to slip in the water? However, I am totally unfamiliar with the area so I could be totally off base.

I've been following her disappearance from a distance. My initial impression was that she left willingly. - Whether she intended to stay away or had some sort of accident or mental health break, I'm not sure. But it hasn't seemed like someone harmed her.
I haven't read much lately though.

Oh no. This doesn't sound good, then. I assume the dog went back home?

I'm definitely getting the vibe that she didn't want to be found but not sure if she just took off or self harm hopefully, it's just the took off option.
