The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating the waters near the I-10 in Mississippi around an "area of interest" related to the disappearance of a Madisonville woman who went missing on her way to a Biloxi casino. 

Scott Lee, a spokesperson for the department, confirmed to WWL-TV that they were working with the Hancock County Sheriff's Office to investigate her disappearance. 

Lee said around 11 a.m. Friday that STPSO personnel were on site near mile marker 8 — about eight miles past the Mississippi border, near the Waveland, MS exit — in relation to the disappearance. 

Courtney Johnson, 34, hasn’t been seen or heard from since Tuesday evening when her mom says she was leaving work in Baton Rouge, headed to the Golden Nugget Casino in Biloxi to spend time with friends.

She never made it to the Golden Nugget though. Somewhere along the way, her mom, Tracy Johnson, said it seems like she just disappeared. 

Courtney reportedly made a call at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to a friend while driving on Interstate-12. That’s the last time anyone spoke to her.

Investigators in St. Tammany believe she made it to Mississippi, but beyond that is a mystery

Johnson never made it to Biloxi and friends began to worry when they couldn't reach her on her mobile phone which was reportedly off along with her location services. Their calls were going directly to voicemail and her last known call was to a friend at 6:22 p.m on 6/22.

There was a Snapchat story posted to Johnson's account on Tuesday night at 6:09 p.m. which showed her traveling along the interstate. This checks out with information that she gave a friend when she reportedly said she was traveling through Madisonville on I-12.

Updates also claim that the license plate of Johnson's grey/silver Mazda car (Louisiana Plate #ZQF474) was last scanned by cameras on the interstate in Hammond.
