     Authorities have called off the search for a missing Ohio woman, Gwen Wright, of Wellington, who was spotted in Adams County this week.
    Wright, 38, went missing Oct. 6. She was last seen on surveillance camera taking $500 out of an ATM in Mount Vernon at 1:37 a.m. on Oct. 7, the newspaper said.
Her car, a dark blue Dodge Neon was found in a Peebles car dealership’s parking lot. The car was then towed to an impound lot, Wright’s husband, Dwayne Wright, said.
     According to various news reports, accounts from witnesses have led police to believe that she was in fact not kidnapped, but instead left on her own free will.
    Wright, who was reported missing Oct. 6, was spotted by two witnesses at a Blake's Pharmacy in Adams County.
    The statement indicates that Wright falsely told witnesses that her husband had died of cancer and that she lost her house and her job. Apparently, all Wright wanted to do was head to the beach, states the report.
    Police chief Steve Rollins said Wright's disappearance is no longer within the jurisdiction of their department; therefore, the search for the missing nurse has ended. "She's an adult, she has not committed a crime, she can do what she wants," he said.
