WYLIE, Texas — Wylie Police are searching for a missing person last seen in the area of Lakefield Drive and Country Club Road, officials said. 

Around 6:30 a.m., the Wylie Police Department responded to the 100 block of Parkwood Dr. after a man reported his wife missing. Police have identified the 45-year-old woman as Melonie Ballenger.

Police said Ballenger was last seen at home on Nov. 3 at around 10 p.m. and did not take her car or phone when she left. She left her home on foot, police said. 

Ballenger is described as 5’7, 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, police said in a news release. It's unclear what Ballenger was wearing when she left.
