'August: Osage County' Actress Misty Upham Reported Missing
Acclaimed Native-American actress has been missing for a week.
Oct. 13, 2014— -- Actress Misty Upham, who portrayed a housekeeper in the movie "August: Osage County," and also had roles in "Frozen River" and "Django Unchained," has been reported missing by her family, according to police in Washington state.
The Auburn Police Department continues to search for Upham, 32, who hasn’t been heard from since last Sunday, Oct. 5, when leaving her parents’ apartment in South Auburn, Washington, the police said in a press release.
Police received a call with a report of a suicidal person at her parents’ apartment, but when officers responded they searched the area but could not locate Upham.
Her father filed a missing-persons report for Upham the next day, according to the release.
The acclaimed actress' father, Charles Upham, wrote on Facebook Sunday that his daughter was last seen wearing a purple sweater, black T-shirt, gray sweatpants and silver tennis shoes. She has cut her hair short. She was also carrying a white cellphone and a California ID.In addition, he clarified some of the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, following media reports that said the actress was worried about money.
"The truth is Misty is not stressed over money or career. Her career is going great," Charles Upham wrote. "As her father I do not fear she committed suicide. I feel that she has been hurt by accident or someone has put her in harms way."
Her father said he's concerned that police are not moving rapidly enough to find her because they have no reason to think she is endangered.
In order for a missing person to be endangered, police Cmd. Steve Stocker told The Seattle Times, the disappearance must be considered unexplained, involuntary or suspicious.
But Charles Upham wrote, "This is the first time in 32 years we have lost contact with her and she stopped contact with everyone. This raises a serious red flag for me but apparently law enforcement officials disagree."
He went on to explain that his daughter has a "bipolar anxiety disorder" but with the help of her medical team and family, she has been able to manage it well, until recently.
"She started to slip into bouts of depression and panic attacks," he wrote.
Police did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.
