The search is on for Chanel Banks.
The Gossip Girl actress has been reported missing after vanishing in Los Angeles, according to her family. Two weeks later, they're still looking for answers.
"The last text we heard from her before her phone went off the grid was Oct. 30," her cousin Danielle-Tori Singh told KTLA Nov. 12. "Her phone is dead, her car is here, her dog is here. She doesn't go to the bathroom without her dog."
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to the television station that they are looking into her disappearance and had confirmed welfare checks on Nov. 7 and 8.
Along with the Blue Bloods actress' dog and car still being at her Playa Vista home, Singh shared more insight into what sparked concerns about the 36-year-old's safety.
"She would NEVER go anywhere without telling her mom or myself," she wrote on a GoFundMe. "On Nov. 10, my aunt and I were able to get into the apartment and all of her belongings are still there. The only items we did not locate are her phone and laptop."
Singh wrote that law enforcement told their family that "there's no sign of foul play."
E! News has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department and Banks' family for comment and has not heard back.
Singh, who flew from Toronto to check on her cousin, emphasized that not hearing from Banks for long periods of time is uncommon.
"Five days without hearing from my cousin is red flags and alarm bells," she told KABC. "She doesn't go more than 48 hours without speaking to me or her mom. That girl is more like a big sister to me.
"I can tell you in my soul, in my gut, something is not right," she continued. "We're crossing two weeks now without a word, without a sound. Nothing."
