The family of a 21-year-old jogger who vanished while on an evening run say they are "looking for her everywhere" as police release eerie footage of her last known location.

Arielle Reis Coutinho Valdes, 21, was last seen on Wednesday, August 28 leaving her Fort Myers home to go on a run at approximately 6:30 p.m., wearing a light colored hoodie sweater, gym shorts and sneakers, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

LCSO and Florida DOT also released footage of her last known location, which shows Arielle running near her neighborhood at 6:45 p.m., and south towards the Edison Bridge shortly after 6:50 p.m.

Arielle's mother, Priscilla Coutinho, pleaded over the weekend for any potential witnesses to come forward with new information about her daughters' wherabouts.

"Please, if someone knows anything about her, we can't sleep," Coutinho told FOX4, "we can't eat. We just like looking for her everywhere. Please. Please help me find her and bring her home so we can provide love and whatever she needs to get well."
