HEARD COUNTY, Ga. - The search for a 27-year-old Georgia who went missing over the Fourth of July weekend is continuing with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's involvement.
Officials say Natalie Jones drove from Heard County, Georgia to Jackson's Gap, Alabama to celebrate the Fourth of July with friends.
She left around midnight on July 5 to make the hour and a half or so drive back home.
According to Lt. Danny Boswell with the Heard County Sheriff's Office, Jones' phone last pinged in Heard County, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's where she is.
"According to her phone records, she actually made it into Heard County. Like I've been telling people, you could be having a conversation with someone and have your phone die on you, so you don't know where she drove to," Boswell said.

Family members told FOX 5 that the mother of two would never leave her children and would never had her phone off for so long.
Investigators say the missing mom's car, a bright pink 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier with the Georgia license plate RVE6177, also hasn't been seen.
"She painted it herself. That vehicle is nowhere to be found. It's an in your face type color so it would be something that would stand out," Boswell said.
