Nevada woman disappears from Walmart; brother says video shows masked man forcing himself into her car

The brother of a Nevada woman who disappeared from a Walmart parking lot said a man forced his way into her car before driving away.

According to the Lyon County Sheriff's Office, Naomi Irion was last seen about 5 a.m. at the store's parking lot.

Irion's four-door sedan was found in an industrial area in Fernley, and a suspect believed to be driving a dark, newer model Chevrolet High Country pickup may know her location.

The older brother of Irion Valley said Thursday that a man in a mask and hoodie walked to the parking lot from the direction of a dirt lot and forced his way into his sister's car.

Valley said that he circled around the parking lot to make sure there were no witnesses. Maybe her door was unlocked. He drove her car away after he said or did something to make her move to the passenger seat.

Representatives from the Lyon County Sheriff's Office could not be reached. Valley told the NBC affiliate in Reno about the video.

The Lyon County Sheriff said that forensic evidence has led investigators to believe that Naomi's disappearance is suspicious.

Police said that Irion's car had been searched and analyzed.

Evidence has been recovered and is being expedited for testing by the Washoe County forensic investigation section.

Lyon County Sheriff Frank Hunewill pleaded with the public to help find Irion.

Hune will make a plea to the public to help locate the person of interest vehicle.

Hunewill said investigators don't have a license plate for the pickup they're looking for.

He said that investigators are trying to talk to witnesses, noting that the man who police are looking for was seen arriving at the Walmart from an area where homeless people congregate.

We don't know if this guy is homeless or not because we don't know who he is.

The search for evidence that was planned for Saturday was not organized by the sheriff's office, but by the agency's Search and Rescue Team.

The media was briefed by Irion's relatives on Thursday.

Irion was active on social media and the public should look for her or the pickup on social media.

She loves people a lot. She's so trusting because of that.

After parking at the Walmart, Irion would take a bus to her job at Panasonic.

Valley wants the person of interest to know that he wants Naomi back.
