The worried family of a missing Sullivan County woman is asking for the public’s help to find a missing mother of two after they say she vanished nearly two weeks ago without a trace.
Gina Intranuovo, from Swan Lake, was last seen Dec. 7 at the ShortLine bus station in Monticello, according to her sisters who say the 31-year-old may have been trying to travel to Staten Island to see her children when she went missing.
“She’s not been handling it very well that she’s away from her children,” says Gina’s sister, Alicia Intranuovo.
Gina’s family say the woman moved to Swan Lake in 2020.
They say her children, ages 5 and 8, live in Staten Island with their dad and that she hasn’t seen them since 2021. They believe she may have been trying to get to them for the holidays but say she didn’t have the money, a working phone or a car to do so.
“We offered to take her, and she thought she could do it by herself,” says Alicia Intranuovo. “She thought she would go to the city and try to figure it out. We don’t know where she is. It’s very frustrating and saddening.”
The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and say one of their deputies gave Intranuovo a courtesy transport to the ShortLine bus station in Monticello the last day she was seen.
Officials say before that, she was at the J&H Express gas station in Liberty for approximately four hours and asked by staff to leave.
“We are very worried about her,” Gina’s sister, Melissa Intranuovo says.
The sheriff’s office says Intranuovo’s live-in boyfriend reported her missing to family and police Dec. 14 and say he claims he waited because she would often leave without contacting anyone.
Authorities say Intranuovo had her cellphone and charger with her, but family say she hasn’t reached out to anyone and can only make phone calls on Wi-Fi.
Intranuovo was last seen wearing a blue winter coat, black pants and boots with a pink purse. She’s described as 5 feet, 6 inches, with brown hair and eyes, and 185 pounds. Officials say her children’s father has been interviewed and that she has not contacted him in the city.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office at 845-794-7100 or Hope Alive 845 at 845-866-0442.
“She has a lot of people that love her,” says Alicia Intranuovo. “We want her to come home.”
