Police express 'concern' for missing Fort Worth mom


FORT WORTH -- Glenda Furch's daughters found it strange that she didn't call them all weekend. But after Latisha Furch stopped by her mother's east Fort Worth apartment Monday morning, panic set in.

A comforter and pillows were missing from the bed, she said. A trash can, answering machine and vacuum cleaner were also missing.

The sisters called police, who found evidence in the 51-year-old woman's apartment that "raised our concern for her safety and well-being," said Lt. Dean Sullivan, a police spokesman. He declined to elaborate.

"We're really scared," Furch's daughter Shimon Furch said tearfully. "Something bad has happened."

Furch was last seen early Friday morning leaving her job at the General Motors assembly plant in Arlington. Officers went to Furch's Hidden Valley Estates apartment, near Woodhaven Country Club, about 11:30 a.m. Monday after relatives said they had been unable to reach Furch at home or on her cellphone.

Furch's car, a 1998 gold, four-door Mazda Millenia with Texas license plate L69 SJL, was missing, Sullivan said.

The daughters last heard from their mother on Thursday. She worked the second shift -- 3:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. -- at the plant where she has been employed for about 17 years, said Latisha Furch, 32.

Glenda Furch is about 5-foot-3, medium to heavy build with shoulder-length auburn hair and a twisted braid.

Her car, a 1998 gold, four-door Mazda Millenia with Texas license plate L69 SJL, is also missing.

Anyone with information is asked to call Fort Worth police at 817-335-4222 or any law enforcement agency.
