Officials have asked the public to be on the look out for her Black Nissan Rogue that the 39-year-old got into moments before disappearing, San Antonio police said.

The Missing Persons Unit has picked up the case to assist family and friends in looking for any sign of Powell.

The video obtained by Powell's family shows the missing mother rushing out of her home at around 10.30 in the morning, moments after telling her law firm that she was running late.

She mysteriously left her phone at home before driving away, but family members say this may have been due to her scrambling to get to work as fast as possible.

The seconds-long video caught by the doorbell camera is the last known sighting of Powell.

Friend Lauren Leal, who spoke on behalf of the family, said she's been worried sick since Powell went missing.

"The unknown is the scariest part," Leal told .

"It's hard to wrap our minds around where she might be, what could have happened."

Leal said that it is out of character for Powell to disappear without communicating with anyone.

"My fear is not ever knowing anything," Leal said.

"I mean, I think that would be the worst, is spending the rest of my life looking for her. I will never give up."

San Antonio police created a flyer that deemed the mother a missing endangered adult.

Powell has a medical condition that requires a doctor's care and medication, police said.

She does not have her medicine, her family told KENS 5.

According to her Facebook, Powell is from New Haven, Connecticut, and graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio.
