According to Mount Dora police, Baldwin left behind her personal belongings, including her phone, Apple watch, purse, debit card and shoes.

Police said Baldwin has not been in contact with her children or friends, which is out of character for her.

“How can I just process the fact that you just up and disappeared on me?” her daughter, Alisha Baldwin, told News 6. “I’m 20. I still need my mom.”

Nicole Baldwin, last seen wearing a nightgown and no shoes, has tattoos of a rose on her right hand and tattoos of flowers on her left shoulder down to her elbow.

Police said she also has a condition that requires medication and she may need medical attention.

“I don’t know if someone did something... or if you went off and hurt yourself. But either one is not good,” Alisha Baldwin said. “I need you here with me.”

In addition, a Facebook page has been set up called “Help Find Nicole Baldwin,” which can be found by clicking here.

Anyone with information about Baldwin’s whereabouts is asked to call the Mount Dora Police Department at 352-735-7130.
