Police Look For Missing Plantation Woman

PLANTATION (CBS4) ― Police in Plantation are looking for a missing woman who lived alone and hasn't been heard from since Wednesday night.

Police say Melissa Britt Lewis has practiced as a lawyer in Ft. Lauderdale for several years. Her friends last heard from her Wednesday night when she went to Publix and then went back home at 7420 Plantation Road. When police got to the home they found signs of a struggle in her garage and her 2007 Black Cadillac SRX missing. Thursday, at 3 PM, Lewis's vehicle was located in a parking lot at 7500 NW 5th Street—blocks away from her home. Melissa's whereabouts are still unknown.

"We're all just devastated," said friend Debra Villegas. "She has such a small world. To those that she is close to she is everything."

If you know where Melissa Britt Lewis may be, police urge you to call Broward County Crimestoppers: 954-493-TIPS.
