BELLE ISLE, Fla. — Police and volunteers Sunday continued their search for a missing Belle Isle mother of three, Stephanie Hollingsworth, who hasn’t been seen since September 25.

Hollingsworth was last seen at her home on Monet Avenue in Belle Isle a little over a week ago, according to police. When she left, she took her purse but left her phone behind before getting in her truck to leave. She drives a 2000 Silver Chevy Tahoe with the plates Y50XUR. 

Police said they have no leads.

Sunday morning, dozens of people began pulling into parking lot of the Walmart off Goldenrod Road to check in with family and grab a map. Many in the Belle Isle community came out to search, hoping to help find a clue that could lead them to Hollingsworth.

“A beautiful soul,” Chad Chitwood, Hollingsworth’s brother, said. “She would help anybody.”

Belle Isle Police Chief Laura Houston expressed optimism.

“I’m very hopeful, along with her brother Chad, that today is the day we’re going to locate Stephanie,” Houston said.

Chitwood agreed.

“We’re hoping to find the truck,” he said. “We just need to find something. We’re on day 8.

“People she hadn’t talked to in 10 years see it, and they are here.”

Hollingsworth took out cash from the Bank of America along Hoffner and Goldenrod and got back in her 2000 champagne-colored Chevy Tahoe, but police said that is where her trail ends.

“We have used every piece of technology, every resource available to look for a missing person, and we have not found a trace of her,” Houston said.

She said it’s likely Hollingsworth is still in Central Florida.

“One thing we think is important is that the vehicle had no more than a quarter tank of gas, and she only withdrew $20,” Houston said. “So with that amount of gas, she’s got to be somewhat local.”

A $5,000 reward was being offered for information that can help to solve the case. Call 1-800-423-TIPS with any information.
