"We've checked the hospitals, we've checked the State Hospital," said Picard.

A post appeared at 3:59 p.m. on Wednesday on Carolynne's Facebook page, but Picard says Masters was not an avid Facebook user and the post may be simply an automated post from the game "CastleVille." She has contacted the game developer for any possible clues to her sister's whereabouts.

"She fights her demons, but my sister is also the person who, if you give her an option, she's going to save the world," said Picard. "She's helped people get in off the streets and been robbed and stolen from. She just can't stay away from trying to help people. I guess my worry is she tried to help the wrong person."

Carolynne "Carrie" Masters was last known to be driving to the Norristown Police Station in her dark blue 2000 Ford Taurus, license plate HWZ-9524. Masters is a 35-year-old white female, 5-foot-4, 110 pounds with red hair and blue eyes.
