FLORENCE, WI (WTAQ) - The search continues for a Florence County woman who disappeared in July, and now her sons are again asking the public for help finding her.
Marvin and Joe Renkas spoke at a news conference Wednesday morning at the Florence County Sheriff's Office.
"We miss her dearly and would love to have her back home," Marvin Renkas said.
47-year-old Nancy Renkas was last seen at Super One Foods in Iron Mountain, Michigan, on July 18. Florence County Sheriff Jeff Rickaby says surveillance video shows Renkas getting into a white SUV in the store's parking lot. That SUV then drove east on Highway 2.
"We spoke with her several times that day before her phone was shut off, and (she) was planning on returning home by 4 p.m.," Marvin Renkas said. "This is not normal for her, and we fear that something bad has happened to her."
Rickaby says investigators are examining several pieces of evidence. They were able to track her cell phone before it shut off, but Rickaby declined to say where the last known location was. He also said they can't rule out foul play.
Several area law enforcement agencies created a task force to focus on the case in August.
"There's people out there that know what happened. We know that," Rickaby said.
A Facebook page and billboard have been created. Rickaby also asked hunters and people participating in outdoor recreation to keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
Renkas is 5'4" and weighs about 200 pounds. She has brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and blue jeans when she left home.
"She's just really kind-hearted, she's really outgoing, she loves people, she likes talking to people. Everybody loves her that talks to her, sees her," Marvin Renkas said.
