Search Underway For 30-Year-Old North Carolina Woman Last Seen Leaving Florida Airbnb

The alert was posted to the sheriff’s department’s Twitter and Facebook.

Hewitt’s family said they contacted police on Monday after she never returned from going shopping at a local Publix at Champions Gate Village.

According to the family, they were in town from North Carolina and staying at a local Airbnb where Hewitt was staying with them. On the day of her disappearance, they told authorities she left their vacation rental around 8 p.m. to head to the store. 

They were later told by deputies it’s possible she never made it there.

Authorities said Hewitt was last seen driving a 2020 black Jeep Cherokee with South Carolina tags. According to the missing person alert, she was wearing a pink T-shirt that said “Unicorn Squad,” paired with black tights and white Air Force Ones. Hewitt also wore earrings with the word "boujie" on them.  

On Twitter, a woman who identifies Hewitt as her friend’s sister, posted pictures of the alert on Wednesday asking the public to help locate her. 

“We need help finding her please, please, please if you’ve seen her reach out to myself or the police,” she wrote.
