PANOLA COUNTY, Texas — It’s been seven days since anyone has seen or heard from Lauren Thompson.

Thompson went missing on January 10 after calling 911. According to the Panola County Sheriff’s Office, Thompson seemed in huge distress and confused as to exactly where she was and felt someone was after her.

The sheriff’s office was able to get three 911 pings in the proximity of where the call was coming from. Five minutes after the call ended, Thompson's car was located.

Almost 9,000 acres has been searched over the last six days using helicopters and rescue teams.

Officials are focusing on more phone records, paper trails and calls to help gather more information as to Thompson’s possible whereabouts.

Citizens are being asked to refrain from assisting with search parties at this time.
