Authorities in Arkansas continue to search for a missing elderly woman who has not been seen since the beginning of February.
Belva Day, 95, was last seen driving in the city of Mountain Home on Feb. 6, according to the local police department. Local police confirm to PEOPLE that day she was seen paying her electric bill and then was seen exiting the city by street cameras.
As police took to social media for help finding Belva, they shared a photo of her car “headed East on Hwy 62 at the Bypass” at approximately 2 p.m. that day. “If any businesses have video cameras that capture Hwy 62 East out East past Walmart, please check this time frame for sightings. Any help would be appreciated,” they added.
In an update, they shared that they were able to confirm another sighting about 20 minutes later in Gepp.

Earlier this week, MHPD investigator Sam Seamans said that officials have made numerous attempts to find her, all to no avail.
“We’ve had a total of four aviation searches for her, two state police helicopter flights, a local Baxter County helicopter flight. There’s been a fixed wing flight that was, I think, arranged by the family, and there have been people, we’ve had state troopers drive all the possible routes looking off the sides of the roads and ravines,” Seamans told CBS affiliate KTHV.
“It’s just like she just disappeared into thin air,” the investigator added.

Chaos Divers, an organization that searches for missing people and solves cold cases in the water, has also joined the search for Day, according to the outlets.
“We have a lot of Chaos Divers family in Arkansas, and they were very quick to reach out and say, ‘Hey, this woman has been missing. No one has found her. She’s completely vanished,” Chaos Divers Manager Lindsay Bussick told KAIT.
Speaking with KARK-TV, Chaos Divers owner Jacob Grubbs said the family had given their blessing for the group.
“I mean she could be lost. She could be just still wandering the streets and driving around,” Grubbs told the station. “We don’t know exactly where she’s been since she doesn’t have a debit card and we can track her that way.”

Day’s daughter, Patti Ades, also spoke with the outlet, saying she’s grateful for the support of their community.
According to Ades, the family is doing their best to keep hope alive.
“We pray she comes home but every day that goes by, that we don’t hear anything, that she doesn’t come home, you know, I wouldn’t wish this [on] my worst enemy,” she added. “This is a horrible thing for a family to go through.”
