Colorado woman mysteriously disappears after she left to go holiday shopping at popular mall
A Colorado woman went missing after telling her family she was going shopping days before Thanksgiving.
Jayna Lang, 46, of Littleton, texted her brother that she was going to the Outlets at Silverthorne in Summit County on Nov. 24.
That was the last time anyone heard from her.
“She was going to Silverthorne on Sunday to look at the factory stores,” her brother Eric Horvat said Denver7.
“Her job called us and said she didn’t show up Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and now no one has heard from her or spoken to her or anything.”
Horvat said this is especially concerning because it is unlike Lang not to contact her family members.
He said, “My aunt and her talk every day. Me and her, every few days. So the fact that my aunt doesn’t hear from her is very suspicious.’
It’s unclear whether she actually made the mountainous drive to the outlets.

Lang was described by her brother as athletic and outdoorsy. Lang works at a dog grooming company
Lang’s family and the Park County Sheriff’s Office have asked for help locating her 016 White-4-Runner SUV with a custom Colorado license plate that reads “JAYNA.”
Lang often visited Park County, particularly the Indian Mountain subdivision, according to the sheriff’s office.
The office shared a Facebook statement Thursday asking anyone with information about Lang’s whereabouts to share it.
Her brother described Lang as an athletic outdoor enthusiast who “loves going to the mountains.” She works at a pet care company in Littleton.
“Never, ever did we think she would be gone,” Horvat said.
Speculating that her car may have been on the side of the road, Horvat told Denver7 that someone told his family they may have seen Lang’s car as they drove from Breckenridge to Keystone on Wednesday evening.
“That’s all we’ve heard,” he told the news station with disappointment.
“We miss her,” Horvat said, urging her to call his family to “let us know you’re okay.”
Lang’s disappearance comes as police continue the hunt for Hannah Kobayashi, a Hawaiian woman who went missing on November 8.

According to her brother, Jayna, pictured with her husband, wouldn’t normally go a few days without contacting family
The 31-year-old aspiring photographer disappeared in downtown Los Angeles after missing her connecting flight to New York, where she was headed from Maui.
It’s unknown why Kobayashi left LAX airport in the first place, but she texted her friend that she was having a “spiritual awakening” and was spotted with a man on November 11.
Kobayashi’s father Ryan committed suicide after tirelessly searching for his daughter.
Wisconsin police are looking for Jacob Baer, 7, after he went missing from a park on Saturday.
Two Rivers police found items that may belong to Jacob in the icy West Twin River on Sunday.
The specific items have not been released and police have not said whether the child fell into the water.
