Specifically, police need help finding mother of three and dispatcher Dawna Natzke.

“She’s family, and we’re going to do everything we can to try to find her,” said Middleton.

Her vehicle, a 1997 teal green Ford Escort Wagon, was found burned  abandoned in the Ouachita National Forest off Ark. Highway 298. However, the mother of three is still missing. The fact that her vehicle was found burned cannot be a good sign. Usually this is done as an effort to hide evidence.
