(Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office)

Florida investigators are searching for a young mother who remains missing, although her 4-year-old daughter and her car have been located.

Cassie Catherine Carli, 37, was last seen at Navarre Beach in Santa Rosa County on Sunday evening, the local sheriff’s office said

Carli and her 4-year-old daughter’s father were expected to meet to exchange custody around 7 p.m. Sunday near Juana’s Grill at Navarre Beach, local news station WEAR-TV reported. Carli’s father then received a text message around 10 p.m. from the young woman’s phone, stating that she was having issues with her phone and her car, according to the report. It was the last anyone has heard from her. 

Carli’s friend told the news station her daughter’s father claimed to have dropped Carli at the friend’s house, which was reportedly not true.
