Police are searching for a missing Vermont mother whose vehicle was found abandoned Sunday along the side of a road with her 2-year-old son inside.
The SUV belonging to 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins, of Danville, Vt., was discovered Sunday along Goss Hollow Road in St. Johnsbury, not far from the woman's home, Vermont State Police Lt. Bob Cushing told FoxNews.com.
Jenkins' young son was found, unharmed, inside the 2006 silver Suzuki.
Cushing said authorities found evidence indicating the woman's disappearance is potentially suspicious, but he declined to elaborate on what was discovered. He noted that the vehicle was not out of gas.
"Right now, we're treating this as a missing persons case," Cushing told FoxNews.com. "But that can change, obviously."
"Everything is under investigation," he said.
Jenkins, who is not married, lived alone with her son, though she often stayed with her mother, according to authorities.
Jenkins is described as 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing 130 pounds. She has blond hair and hazel eyes.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is being urged to call the Vermont State Police at 802-748-3111.
