Actress Misty Upham still missing in Seattle area

Police in the Seattle suburb of Auburn say they are still looking for an actress known for her roles in "August: Osage County," "Frozen River" and "Django Unchained."

Misty Upham's father, Charles Upham, tells KIRO-FM that his daughter was upset and erratic and had stopped taking medication for anxiety and bipolar disorder.

"It wasn't like she just decided to take time off. She's out there, she's missing, she needs help, she needs her medication," Upham said.

The 32-year-old Native American actress was reported missing by her family Oct. 6, a day after telling police she was suicidal. Her father tells the station he doesn't believe his daughter would kill herself.

She has been listed as missing in the Washington Crime Information Center database.

"I think that there's still time that we can find her if we get people out there who know what to look for," the actresses' father added.

The family said Upham had moved to the Seattle area to help care for her father, who's recovering from a stroke. She had been staying at a relative's apartment on the Muckleshoot reservation.
