The search for 37-year-old Gherlan "Gigi" Wade, who has been missing since earlier this month, continues as concern grows over her possible drowning. Wade's car was found by investigators in the vicinity of the 18500 block of East de Baca Lane in Galveston. In a press release provided by Click2Houston, it was noted that the location is near the water, sparking fears of a drowning incident having occurred.

Gigi Wade, an avid swimmer, was last seen in the area, but details are still unclear. It's not known where she may have entered the water or what she was wearing. She is a Black woman, 5'7" tall, about 220 pounds, and wears a size 10 shoe. Authorities are asking people, especially near water, to stay alert and report any sightings or information, according to Click2Houston.

Galveston Police Department and Texas EquuSearch are leading the charge in the ongoing search efforts, urging anyone with any information to come forward. A post shared by Texas EquuSearch on their Facebook page emphasized their call for community support: "If you are in the area—particularly near the water—we kindly ask that you remain vigilant." They expressed gratitude to all who have been involved and who continue to aid in their attempt to locate Wade.
