11:31 am
new details. she got the pictures that we showed you a few minutes ago. what can you tell us? >> reporter: we have been gathering new information since the last time we saw you at 11:00. i just spoke to her grandmother, this is the woman who raised her during grade school and high school in maryland. this is the woman who shared those new photos with us. she tells me that she spoke with a detective not long ago, within the past half an hour, hour, who told her that her atm debit card was used this morning in maryland. the detective wanted to show the grandmother the picture of the man who was using the card to see if she recognized him. the grandmother told the detective that she did not recognize the man in the picture. again, this is new information and something, of course, that we will ask police about during that 12:30 news conference that's expected to happen in the next hour when family will be speaking alongside police making a formal public plea for the safe return of the woman.

11:33 am
determine if it looked like any of her friends from maryland. the grandmother said, no. it may be a coincidence it was used in the same state, maryland, where she grew up. >> rosemary connors, we expect she will be at the press conference in an hour. we appreciate the information. as much as we can do to try to track down this young woman. the police will hold a news conference on this case at 12:30. we will bring it to you live on nbc 10. it will be carried on nbc10.com. a sunny and mild day today. don't get too used to this nice weather. we never do. more changes are coming. nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz is here with the forecast. >> especially this time of the year we see the weather changing pretty consistently during any given week. we start off the week with
