A Colorado woman has been missing for almost a month, and her worried mother is desperate for answers.
Jepsy Amaga Kallungi, 26, has not been seen or heard from since March 20, her mother, Margie Amaga, told NBC affiliate KOAA.
According to Amaga, her daughter’s husband of almost two years said the last time he saw Kallungi, he believed she was preparing to travel to either the Philippines, Mexico or Chicago to visit friends.
“I am so worried and I cannot sleep. I cannot concentrate for work,” Amaga, who lives in Hong Kong, said.
A spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department told NBC News it was aware of Kallungi’s disappearance and are investigating it as a missing person case, but declined to give any further details.
Kallungi moved to the United States from the Philippines in 2017, and married Dane Kallungi in July of that year after meeting him online, Amaga said. He could not be reached for comment.
“I just want to find my daughter. I need her,” the mother said.
