GTV NEWS: WOMAN MISSING...


Mary Tornga, 51, of Grandville was last seen around 1 a.m. Sunday in the area of Market Street and I-196 in Grand Rapids. She had been in downtown Grand Rapids with her husband at a birthday party, family members said. After they left the party in their car, Tornga and her husband argued. She got out of the vehicle and hasn't been seen since.
Her husband later reported her missing, police said. 

Family members told 24 Hour News 8 that Grandville police officers searched the area Sunday with the assistance of a Grand Rapids Police Department K-9 unit and found one of her shoes. Police searched until dark, her family said.
"Near the entrance ramp from Market [Avenue] to the expressway, a shoe was found, so that's what's making them so concerned," said Tornga's sister, Micki Ackerman. She said Tornga's daughter confirmed the shoe belonged to Tornga.
"My sister is the most responsible person I know. Clear-headed. That's why the concern that we have, because we haven't heard from her since last night," said Ackerman.
Ackerman said Tornga's cellphone is off. 

Tornga is described as being 5-foot-4 tall, weighing about 140 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a bright pink shirt and blue jeans.
