She left John and Peter's Bar in New Hope, Pa., and was on her way home in Lambertville around 2 a.m. Saturday, authorties said. 

The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office released security camera images that show that she crossed the river over the bridge from New Hope into Lambertville. Then she turned north on Lambert Lane and vanished.
