The Spokane resident, who took the ferry after visiting relatives in Sequim, is described as white with medium-length brown hair, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 240 pounds with green eyes.
She is thought to have been traveling alone and has a history of mental health issues which could have contributed to her disappearance.

The Coast Guard suspended it's search for Story yesterday at 10:32 p.m.
