Her fiance reported Carlson missing Dec. 28, police said. She was last seen knocking on neighbors' doors and behaving strangely.
Carlson worked at a pet store about a half-mile from her home in the Sanctuary neighborhood. She told a co-worker she moved here from the Midwest a few months ago.
Police said officers were called to Carlson's home in early December for a welfare check when she did not show up for work for two days after her fiance called off the couple's wedding.
The garage to Carlson's home and several doors were found open and a shower was running at the time of her disappearance, police said.
According to the police report, Carlson turned off her phone or it went dead a few hours after she was last seen in the neighborhood.
