Long Island woman missing after jumping from moving vehicle in panicked state

Her husband, Fernando Garip, said she was in a panicked state, jumped out of a moving car, threw her phone into a bush and ran off. 

Niko Kritis, told Patch that his sister was "vulnerable" and asked that residents check their properties for spaces where someone could seek shelter. 

"Those small, careful actions could be what brings Brittany home," he said. "We believe Brittany may be trying to isolate or avoid contact, and it's possible she could be sheltering in secluded or hidden areas."

He also asked homeowners to check their security cameras.

"We believe she was disoriented and frightened, and may think she is in danger," search organizer Sarah Castor wrote on an online crowdfunding page. "She is not dangerous - she needs help."

"Brittany is an incredible, kind person and any efforts are appreciated by all who know her," she wrote. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to Fernando Garip.

Kritis-Garip is described as a White woman with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds.
