Police execute search warrant in case of Bay Area woman missing for a week

The news station reports that investigators took a vacuum cleaner from the home. They were also seen removing several large bags, the contents of which were unclear.

The ex-boyfriend has been questioned multiple times, KRON reported, and police have taken his statement. Police did not confirm to the outlet whether he is a suspect in the case.

Oakley police told SFGATE that the Antioch Police Department and the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office are now involved in the case.

“The Oakley Police Department remains committed to locating Alexis and we will continue to take investigative steps in the case,” the spokesperson told SFGATE in a statement.

An Oakley police spokesperson did not immediately respond to further questions from SFGATE.

Feb. 1, 10:40 a.m. The search for a Bay Area woman who was last seen Jan. 26 has intensified after nearly a week.

Alexis Gabe was reported missing Jan. 27 and was reportedly last seen the night before at about 9 p.m. at her ex-boyfriend’s home in Antioch.

NBC Bay Area reports that the keys to Gabe’s car — parked on Trenton Street, a cul-de-sac just a few blocks off the city’s Main Street — were still in the ignition. Her car door was also left open.

Video footage obtained by police shows an individual getting out of her car and walking away, but police have yet to determine the individual’s identity. 

“The more time that goes by obviously the more unsettled we are,” Morgan Strenfel, Gabe’s brother’s girlfriend, told NBC Bay Area. “The way we found her car is extremely unusual.”

Gabe’s phone is also off or disconnected, police said.

Gabe is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, 170 pounds and was last wearing a silver and black hoodie, black pants and green and white shoes. 

Police have been in contact with friends and family and said Monday in a Facebook post that finding her is now their “top priority” since her disappearance was reported.

As of Sunday, Strenfel said that search efforts have not turned up any leads.

“We still do not have any leads or information about where Alexis is and her friends and family are sick with worry,” she said in a post on a Facebook group to help find her.

Anyone with information regarding Gabe’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact Oakley police at (925) 625-8060.
