Friends and family members of a missing Florida woman have established a fund to help pay her bills until she can be found.

Cheryl Hodges Dunlap once lived in Geneva County and worked at the Campbellton-Graceville Hospital in Jackson County.

She was last seen December 1st at her home in Crawfordville, south of Tallahassee.

Investigators say a tall, thin man wearing gloves and a mask has used the Dunlap's ATM card to withdraw money in Tallahassee.

The staff at Campbellton-Graceville Hospital has set up an account to accept donations.

Contributions to the Cheryl Hodges Dunlap fund can be made at any Wachovia Bank in the tri-states area.

A spokesman for the group says extra money in the account will be used to offer a reward for information that helps locate Cheryl Dunlap.

WTCV UPDATE
World Renowned Search Team May Assist in Dunlap Search

Family and friends of Cheryl Dunlap are enlisting professional help now to try to find the missing Wakulla County woman. It's a search team all the way from Texas.

A missing sign for 46-year-old Cheryl Dunlap still sits off Highway 319 near the
Leon-Wakulla County line. Her white Toyota Camry was found there December 3, but even after a search of about 200 people on December 8, Dunlap could not be found.

Her friends and family are calling on The Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team to help. Brent Thurmond, a close friend of Cheryl Dunlap, said "I would certainly be very supportive of any resources in the State of Florida or even from Texas coming in to try to help do everything we possibly can do to find Cheryl."

EquuSearch was started in 2000 to provide volunteer search and recovery for lost and missing persons. Members of the Texas-based organization of 350-plus members are currently still in Aruba working on the Natalee Holloway case.

Holloway is the Alabama 18-year-old who disappeared on a graduation trip in Aruba May 30, 2005. Dunlap was last seen Saturday, December 1.

Tallahassee resident Logan Fish said, "It's terrible, right out there at Crawfordville, somebody just commuting from Wakulla and to our university and being taken from this area."

While Dunlap's loved ones await the professionals, they are depending on the community to help recognize and catch this man who was caught on film at a West Tennessee Street ATM. The Leon County Sheriff's Office says he used Dunlap's ATM card three days straight after she went missing.

An EquuSearch representative said that they do plan to take the case but they want to clear everything with local law enforcement first.

As an old friend, whom began school with and an High School graduating classmate of Cheryl's, I just would like to thank all whom have helped in her case. She is a dear person and never deserved what she has gone through. I would like to encourage the person whom has used her ATM card and knows of her whereabouts to PLEASE come forward and let us know where she is. I pray continuously for her, day and night. Please keep covering her story and praying for God to show mercy and bring her home for Christmas. To Chery's family,church family and friends, please know that you are in our prayers as well and keep the faith!

Flyers Aid Family in Dunlap Disappearance

Efforts to find a missing 46-year-old Crawfordville woman are expanding as friends and family distribute flyers all over town as they hope it will result in Cheryl Dunlap's safe return.

There are already several Cheryl Dunlap missing flyers posted in areas such as FSU's campus and the spot where her car was found on Highway 319.

Her loved ones say they hope the more people see Dunlap's face on paper, the sooner they can see her face again in person.

FSU student Kevin Pickett says there's a bevy of flyers around campus. He said the flyers of Cheryl Dunlap could easily get lost in the shuffle.

"I've never noticed that flyer. I believe I've seen it on TV that this person is missing, but not on campus."

Dunlap's family members say they plan to post more flyers around the campus. Especially since Dunlap is a nurse at the Thagard Health Center.

She never made it to work Monday morning, December 3rd. She was last seen that previous Saturday.

FSU Student Logan Fish said,"One time I was in Thagard and I can remember the name Dunlap. She was one of the nurses in the Garnet Clinic that I know helped me."

There's already a big poster on Thagard's front window, but Dunlap's loved ones say they want her patients and students and faculty to remember more than her name, they want to know if anyone's seen her face.

FSU Student Wendell Corvoisier said, "I wasn't one of the people who originally looked at the flyers. But when people started talking about it, I went ahead and looked at the flyers. I'll be more aware of who to look out for."

Family and friends from Alabama are expected to come in to help put up more flyers around town. Dunlap's close friends say they are also working on getting a billboard.
They hope to have all of this up real soon.

Family members say they are discussing putting a reward up for information on Dunlap.
