A missing Starbucks employee is the focus of a massive search in Oregon this week.
Whitney Heichel, 21, was reported missing after she failed to show up for work Tuesday.
The 21-year-old's vehicle was found abandoned Wednesday in a Walmart parking lot.
Police say the vehicle's passenger side window was busted out, but there were no signs of the missing woman.
Heichel's husband says he's worried about his wife's safety.
Police say surveillance video captured Heichel's car at a local gas station, but they've yet to determine who was driving the vehicle.
Forensics investigators are combing over the car for clues into the young woman's disappearance.
