A Colorado woman disappeared after telling her brother she was going shopping ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The family of Jayna Lang announced on Sunday night that they had received “not-good news” regarding her disappearance, saying they were “sending this with broken hearts.”

Lang, 46, was last heard from on November 2024 when she said she was heading to Silverthorne shopping outlet in Summit County, her brother Eric Horvat told 9News. The mall is a roughly 1.5-hour drive from her home in Littleton.

Lang was never seen or heard from again, with her family revealing she had failed to turn up for work the next day.

On Thursday, Park County Sheriff’s Office urged the public to be on the lookout for the missing woman, saying she was last seen driving a 2016 White 4 Runner SUV with a Colorado license plate that read “JAYNA.”

Authorities said Lang “liked to frequently visit Park County, especially the Indian Mountain subdivision.”

The family also made appeals for help through local news outlets.

“Come home Jane. We miss you. It would be great to have you home for the holidays,” Horvat told 9News, describing his sister as a “very outgoing, very compassionate, very caring person” who was “super athletic.”

But, on Sunday night, Stacy Laigo-Horvat – Horvat’s wife and Lang’s sister-in-law – took to Facebook to announce a sad update.

“Sending this with broken hearts [broken heart emoji] & tears!!!” she wrote.

Thanking people for their support in the search, she provided no further details about what information had come to light.
