The parents of a woman who vanished from her home two days ago fear her disappearance may be linked to her upset over a haircut that went wrong.
Frankie Warren, 26, has been missing from her home in Thornbury, Gloucester since Wednesday morning.
The office worker's car was found in a secluded beauty spot 80 miles away in Sedgley, West Midlands yesterday.
Her parents Kieran and Margerie Warren have told people Frankie was depressed over her latest hairstyle as locals joined in the search effort in the area.
Mr and Mrs Warren said they could think of 'no other reason' why their daughter would disappear out of the blue.
Kevin Fletcher, 46, met Ms Warren's father searching fields close to Sedgley Hall Park while out walking his dog at around 6am this morning.
'I took my dog Coco up to the fields at 6am and could hear people shouting her.
'As I got to the top of the field there was a bloke there with hiking boots on and a big stick.
'He went "I'm her dad",' the factory manager said.
'He said he didn't know why she had come here. He said she was really mixed in her head and has been missing for a couple of nights and she's gone very depressed.

'I asked why is she so depressed, and he said she went and had her hair done a couple of weeks ago and they didn't do it right.
'He said she kept going back and it was getting worse,' Mr Fletcher said.
'He said "that's all we can think of and we can't understand why".'
The factory worker also said he first saw the office worker's abandoned silver Honda Civic parked near the wooded area in Sedgley early on Thursday morning, but thought nothing of it.
'I thought the door doesn't look like it's shut properly,' he said.
'But I didn't think anything else of it because it was raining and a horrible morning.
'Apparently the keys were still in the car and her handbag was on the passenger seat.'

Mr Fletcher described seeing police with sniffer dogs descend on the area on Thursday evening.
'They asked me not to let Coco off the lead, there must have been about ten of them with dogs,' he said.
'I could hear the police helicopter as well, it looked like it had the infra-red on.
'It must have hovered over the fields for about 20 or 30 minutes.'
Police arrived at the wooded area after tracking Ms Warren's car using number plate recognition cameras.
Ms Warren did not take any belongings with her when she left her house on Wednesday morning, and friends said she had only £20 worth of petrol in her car.

Her last contact with her boyfriend, Sam Cotton, 27, was at 11am on Wednesday.
Mr Cotton posted an emotional plea for information on his Facebook page the day his girlfriend went missing.
He wrote: 'MY GIRLFRIEND (FRANKIE WARREN) HAS GONE MISSING!!!!!! I last spoke with her at about 11am on 29th May, this is massively out of character for her and also not to contact anyone!!!!'
He added: 'I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BABY!!!!! We all just want you home safe!!!!'
Mr Cotton has since posted an update to say he had travelled to Sedgley to join in the search.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: 'Her family, and the police officers searching for her, are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare because of her state of mind when she left.
'Since Frankie was reported missing we have been conducting enquiries to try and find her.
'As a result of those enquiries, her silver Honda Civic was found by West Midlands Police near some woodland in Sedgley at around 6.50pm on Thursday evening.
'A large search of the area took place by officers from West Midlands Police and will begin again at first light on Friday morning.
'Frankie is a white woman, 5' 8" tall and with a slim build.
'She has a pieced left nostril, blue eyes and straight blonde hair and was last seen wearing a blue tracksuit with full-length jogging bottoms with a white waist cord and a white logo on the leg.
'She had a light-grey hooded tracksuit top and a quilted jacket made of brown, shiny material and a fur-trimmed hood.
'Anyone who has seen Frankie since she went missing, or knows where she currently is, should contact police on 101.'
