A search is ongoing for a missing Amish woman that disappeared after attending a church service in Pennsylvania.

Linda Stoltzfoos, 18, of the East Lampeter Township, was last seen Sunday at a farm on Stumptown Road. According to the East Lampeter Township police, she had a tan dress on, white apron, and cape.

When she did not make it back to her residence on Beechdale Road this past Sunday, her parents became concerned and contacted the police.

Police indicated that trained search personnel are using dogs, horses, ATV equipment and drones that supplement the area's expansion to be searched. Detectives are also following the leads and interviewing family members and friends for additional information on her whereabouts, New York Post reported.

Lieutenant Matt Hess told NBC News that East Lampeter Township Police Department believes Stoltzfoos may be at risk for harm or injury. He noted that there was possible no reason for the authorities to think that she wanted to leave, so running off without notifying anyone would be out of her character.

Multiple photos and videos have been shared on a Facebook page created to get people's aid in the search of Stoltzfoos. The page has scheduled a community prayer meeting for the victim at 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, behind the Smucker Homestead located in Bird-In-Hand, Pa. A post on the page thanked everyone for their prayers and support.

Stoltzoos is approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds, with blue eyes.

Anyone that has information concerning her whereabouts has been instructed to contact the police at (717) 291-4676.
