The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in locating a missing woman who was recently staying in Ormond-by-the-Sea.

Rachael L. Madison, 44, was staying with family after leaving Indiana to distance herself from her estranged husband, 58-year-old Jarvis Madison, according to a Sheriff’s Office spokesman.

She was last seen leaving a home on Rivocean Drive sometime between 1:30 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27, to go for a jog on the beach. She never returned, the spokesman said. She was last seen wearing a pair of men’s Navy-blue basketball shorts, a light-colored jacket and blue/black, slip-on, Skechers-brand shoes. She had no money or cell phone with her when she left for her run and she has no contacts in the area.

It is believed Madison could be in the company of her estranged husband. Investigators are working to determine whether she left with him willingly or if she should be considered endangered/missing.

Police said she may be traveling in a silver, 2011 Honda Pilot with Indiana tag EN2348. Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or contact the Sheriff’s Office at 323-0151.

Anyone with information who prefers to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida toll-free at 888-277-TIPS. Callers to Crime Stoppers can qualify for a reward of up to $5,000.
