Family searches for missing woman

BAY CITY (WJRT) -- (06/29/09)--A Flushing-area family spent Monday searching near Bay City, looking for their loved one who has been missing since last Thursday.

UPDATE: Emily Jane Plouffe Simunic's body found.

Emily Jane Plouffe Simunic, 29, left from Clarkston Thursday and was on her way to West Branch. She was then supposed to be in Boyne City Friday, but she never made it there.

Her family concentrated its efforts near Bay City. They say police told them that's where her cell phone signal was last tracked to, essentially her last known location.

With fliers on foot and in cars, Simunic's family searched.

They even staged their own command center at a McDonald's near M-84 and I-75 in Bay City, mapping out areas of interest and making sure everyone was on the same page.

Simunic was apparently on her way from Clarkson to meet friends in St. Ignace, but her family says they had car trouble and instead agreed to meet in West Branch.

Simunic's family says it's just not like her.

The registered nurse was working in Rochester and always called or at least sent texts, but there's been nothing since early Friday morning when police tracked her cell phone signal near 3 Mile Road.

Simunic was driving a silver 2003 Volkswagen Jetta. The license plate number is BGW 1441.

While police did not participate in the search Monday, the Oakland County Sheriff's Department is investigating this case.

Please call their CrimeStoppers tip line at 1-888-TURN-1-IN if you have any information about where she may be.
